About this piece

Seen from behind, a twin-engine fighter jet spans the lower frame, its orange exhausts burning against pale blue sky and white cloud. Broad horizontal wings and angled tail fins give the composition a strong symmetry, while shimmering distortion softens the aircraft’s contours. The contrast between metallic structure and luminous atmosphere lends the image a suspended intensity.

The story

On this second day of January, the new year opens onto a wide expanse of blue. Two bright exhausts hold the eye as the aircraft points away into cloud. Around the tail fins, the view shimmers, and hard edges seem to loosen in the light. For a moment, departure has a shape: outstretched wings, paired fire, and sky beyond.
