Scylla is a photograph taken in the high mountains of Yosemite, capturing a dramatic and imposing landscape that mirrors the internal struggles I have faced. The title references the mythological creature Scylla, a fearsome sea monster with multiple heads that terrorized sailors, presenting an overwhelming and seemingly insurmountable challenge. Much like the sailors in the myth, I have felt caught between two formidable forces: the physical reality of my health issues and the emotional turmoil that accompanies them. This photograph embodies the sensation of being trapped between a rock and a hard place, where each choice or path feels fraught with difficulty and uncertainty. The stark, rugged terrain reflects the harshness of these challenges, while also symbolizing the strength and resilience required to navigate through them. 'Scylla' ultimately represents the profound struggle of balancing conflicting pressures and finding a way through a complex and daunting situation.
