Jeremiah Meyer
Description
"Idle" by Jeremiah Meyer captures a fragmented moment on a dark, quiet night, as a car picks someone up. The only source of light comes from the back seat, casting an eerie glow that draws the viewer into a shared perspective. The composition evokes a sense of distance, as if we, too, are waiting in the shadows, experiencing the moment from our own viewpoint. With its evocative use of light and space, this piece explores themes of solitude, anticipation, and the quiet narratives unfolding in the night.
