HORSES IN THE WIND: man will never have the perfection of the horse
Baruch Spinoza
Let's listen to what the horse whispers in our ear. With every glance, this majestic being, a symbol of freedom and beauty, seems to remind us of something we've forgotten: freedom lies in our deep connection with nature and our sacred respect for all living things.
This series of captivating black & white photographs, immortalized by the lens of Laurent Baheux, transports us to the vast expanses of Iceland's plains, the bewitching marshes of the Camargue and the vast steppes of Mongolia. These wild lands are the stage where the horse reigns supreme, infusing each image with a sense of power and harmony.
Dedicated to one of mankind's most fantasized animal species, this series is much more than a simple collection of photographs. It is a vibrant tribute to the majesty and nobility of this emblematic animal, a eulogy to the strength and grace that resides within it.
Sometimes trained, never submissive, the horse is the perfect embodiment of strength and majesty. Each shot is a celebration of his indomitable freedom, his raw beauty and his ancestral bond with nature. In every posture, in every graceful movement, we can feel the wild energy pulsing through her veins, reminding us of our own innate connection with the natural world around us.
Through these photographs, Laurent Baheux invites us to contemplate the magnificence of the horse with humility and respect. He reminds us that in the simplicity of his being, in his purity without artifice, lies an essential lesson for us all: true freedom comes from communion with nature and sacred respect for every living being.
