DISTURBANCES 

The natural world operates under a delicate balance. The stillness of the woods at night, interrupted only by the wind and the rustle of leaves, is a sacred space. By introducing bright, artificial light, and engaging in the meticulous process of long exposure photography, Kyle disrupts the calm dark night. This momentarily disrupts the undisturbed peace of the forest at night.

Through his lens, Kyle captures not only the visual beauty of the night landscape but also the disturbance caused by his presence. The interplay of light and shadow, occasionally the ethereal glow of the moon against the darkness, and the subtle movements of unseen forces are all evident in the work.

In this disruption, there is also revelation. The photos serve as a testament to the hidden complexities of the natural world, inviting viewers to contemplate the intricate interplay between human intervention and the inherent resilience of nature. By acknowledging his role as a disruptor of the night woods, Kyle sheds light on the interconnectedness of all things and the profound impact of humans on the environment.

In essence, the title ‘Disturbances’ encapsulates not only the visual narrative present in this series but also the philosophy of the artist’s exploration. It serves as a reminder of the delicate balance between human intervention and the untouched beauty of the natural world, prompting viewers to reflect on their own relationship with the environment and the responsibilities that come with it.
