Fine art photograph by Menno van der Meulen, “Autumn Embrace”—a nude figure curled in a fetal pose beneath fallen leaves, bathed in warm amber light on a forest floor.

Autumn Embrace (2022)

In “Autumn Embrace,” the body folds into the earth in a gesture of surrender and renewal. The fetal position recalls both vulnerability and transformation — an echo of life returning to its origin. The leaves and soil act as a second skin, blurring the boundary between human and nature, warmth and decay. What appears as stillness is, in truth, the quiet pulse of becoming.
