Balancing Horizon
by Ruben Bellanger (Belgium)

Titled "Balancing Horizon," this striking photograph features a naked woman executing a flawless handstand straddle atop a solitary rock, rising above the dense woodland below. Her body, powerful and poised, radiates strength and control, yet her position is precarious—every muscle engaged in perfect tension. The rock beneath her feet, unyielding yet narrow, mirrors life's delicate balancing act where strength alone is not enough. Responsibilities, unforeseen challenges, love, and family all pull in different directions, demanding harmony to avoid the fall. The dark woods surrounding her form a silent reminder of life's uncertainties, while her outstretched form, bold and defiant, speaks of resilience—the quiet mastery of staying centered when the world tests your limits.
