Rainer Junghanns

Rainer Junghanns presents works that explore the free relationship between humans and the external world through elemental natural forces such as water, space, and light. His photographs visually interpret water and natural phenomena, composed of meditative and translucent images that evoke a sense of freedom beyond boundaries and an ideal realm. Scenes capturing the gentle ripples of seas and lakes, as well as the flow of light and color, offer viewers a profound tranquility and an experience of an open world. The artist’s own figure appears in the photographs, seen from behind gazing beyond the sea and lake, symbolizing a yearning for freedom and an aspiration toward ideals, embodying a strong will. This pure desire for freedom begins as a personal longing but expands outward to become the wish of each viewer and ultimately resonates as a universal hope for humanity.
