Burdened is a black and white photograph that captures a lone tree surrounded by scattered trash bins. A quiet commentary on the tension between nature and human impact. Stripped of color, the image emphasizes form, contrast, and texture, drawing attention to the tree’s presence as both resilient and overshadowed.

The composition invites reflection on what we place upon the natural world, physically and symbolically. The tree, often seen as a symbol of strength and growth, stands among discarded objects, burdened not just by what surrounds it, but by what it represents.
