Solitude captures an antique pond yacht suspended in a moment of perfect stillness. Resting on the glassy surface of an infinity pool, its white hull and sails are reflected in the water below, poised between movement and rest.

Beyond the pool, the familiar silhouette of Rangitoto Island anchors the horizon as heavy clouds gather overhead. The calm turquoise water contrasts with the approaching storm, creating a quiet tension between serenity and uncertainty, stillness and change.

At the centre of the composition, the yacht becomes a symbol of solitude - not as isolation, but as a deliberate pause. Though motionless, it remains ready to respond to the wind and water. Its small scale against the expansive sky suggests vulnerability, yet its presence feels assured.

Solitude reflects on the value of stillness in an unpredictable world. The storm may be approaching, but for now the water remains calm, the yacht is ready, and the moment belongs entirely to itself.
