Lynn’s latest works are suspended between Henri Cartier-Bresson’s idea that to photograph is to hold one’s breath with all faculties converging to capture fleeting reality and the belief that flowing processes that transcend reality cannot be entirely captured by static images. By capturing the natural world Bianchi illustrates our human emotions and motivations. The perpetual movements of the ocean or the endless variations of a skyscape reflect our own shifting internal gestures. The artist looks for the precise moment when mastering a static or moving image becomes a great physical and intellectual joy.

“Torn Love is inspired by the elegance and strength of Greek architecture. This composition weaves bodies - intertwined yet fragmented. The interplay of light and shadow, structure and fluidity, speaks to love's dual nature: enduring yet vulnerable, whole yet fractured, a harmony disrupted by the scattered remnants of what once was.” - Lynn Bianchi
