Barbara Friehs - A Quiet Ritual

A woman stands quietly on a sun-washed balcony, her figure relaxed yet attentive as she waters a row of leafy plants spilling from terracotta pots. The light feels warm and dreamy, bathing everything in shades of orange and pink. Behind her, a cluster of buildings rises softly into the background.

Beside the woman stands a flamingo, elegant and slightly surreal, its pale pink feathers echoing the colors of the city around them. The bird’s long legs and curved neck add a playful, almost whimsical balance to the scene, as if it belongs there as naturally as the plants or the balcony rail.
