The Question

Description:

At first glance, it’s just a bent lamppost over calm harbour waters. But look closer — and you’ll find something deeper.

This image features Fountain, a sculptural piece from The Way Things Are by artist Hendrika Sonnenberg (bucketofblood.info). Once a working fountain that shot water into the harbour, it now stands quietly — no longer spraying, just watching. Just waiting.

Shot during a still, reflective sunrise on the Halifax waterfront, The Question invites you into a moment of silence. Maybe it’s the kind of silence that follows a long night out. Maybe it’s the kind where the real thoughts creep in. Maybe it’s the kind where you ask yourself, “What the hell am I doing with my life?”

A little broken. A little bent. Still standing.
