The Straight Way Lost, Act I, Image 2

Second image from Act I of The Straight Way Lost, photographed at Lower Brewers Lockstation on the Rideau Canal. The image was made using intentional rotational camera movement during exposure, transforming the winter landscape into a vortex-like field of motion and light.
The blurred trees and unstable horizon dissolve conventional spatial orientation, introducing themes of uncertainty, psychological turbulence, and perceptual dislocation. Positioned early within the sequence, the image marks a deeper movement away from documentary description toward an experiential and interior landscape shaped through gesture, duration, and abstraction.
