The Impermanence of Love: Capturing Life's Fleeting Moments Johan Van Aarde's poignant photograph of Arya, his majestic great dane, is impossible to gaze upon without being struck by the bittersweet essence of life.
Taken in May 2021, the image testifies to the transience of love and connection, reminding us that cherished moments are brief respite from time's passage.
The photograph was captured on an ordinary evening as Van Aarde prepared dinner while Arya sat lost in thought, her gaze fixed on the moon's reflection in the pool.
