Through a spiritual lens—CUTTING EDGE

Jo Andreae

As a photographer, I have found design and the environment are closely related in modern architecture, with the curves of the structures moving through the sky like the hills of a landscape. The soaring pinnacles of this building in Dubai inspired me to capture its vitality and freedom. The creativity and vision required to design and build such a structure show no bounds.

In life we often set our own limitations, which can be dispelled by looking at things from a different angle or in a new light. How many times have I been troubled by something only to go for a walk in the countryside, smell the fresh air, marvel at the rolling hills of the landscapes around me, and come back refreshed to tackle and solve the issue.

With spring still in the air, new life unfolding before our very eyes, now is the time to see new horizons, open thoughts and hearts.
