Departure Signal (2024) Fotografia autorstwa Lucas Biston Reichling (LBR Photojourney)

"Departure Signal" captures the fleeting moment just before setting off, where the red glow of the rear light pierces through the fading daylight. The car, its details only partially revealed, stands ready, its rear light serving not as a farewell, but as the signal of a new beginning. It marks the start of a journey, one that extends beyond the visible, inviting us to follow its quiet call.

In the soft contrast of cool dusk and the warmth of the red glow, the tension between stillness and movement lingers. The light pulses with anticipation, as though the car is preparing to leave the familiar behind. There's a sense of readiness in the air, the calm before the wheels turn and the road unfurls before it, hinting that this moment is just the calm before the journey begins.

Yet, as the rear light fades and the road stretches forward, there’s an unspoken promise that this journey might not be unique. Another car, perhaps on another road, but with a similar glow, is set to travel paths just as uncertain, with different destinations but a shared pursuit. It is a reminder that while each departure is individual, the road beckons to many, leading us down different, yet deeply interconnected, journeys.
