21st Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Artistic
Between Two Trees

Two photos captured against the backdrop of two trees, one alive and the other lifeless. In the first, a woman walks between them, while in the second, a bird flies in the opposite direction. The trees serve as symbols of life and death, with humans and other creatures merely passing through, traversing the delicate balance between existence and mortality.
