Silver Dollars and Memories

Early morning light and shadow drifted like mist through the window shades. She looked at the shadows on the walls, threading through her soul and she remembered last night. The blanket was crumpled on his side of the bed. Now he was gone, but in the vase he once gave her, he had left the glowing branches of Lunaria annua, also called the silver dollar plant. The translucent, luminous coin-like pods were enough to keep her: the silver dollars and her memories.

Ellen Fisch

Ellen Fisch was born and raised in Brooklyn, NYC. At a young age, Fisch began to use observations of her surroundings combined with her imaginative curiosity to create new and wonderful worlds. This all began when Fisch, aged 4, looked through an elaborate brass vent into her backyard and imagined that she had discovered a secret garden. Throughout years of studying photography, drawing, architecture and painting, Fisch learned to seamlessly blend the interdisciplinary arts into her photography. Later, as a professional photographer, artist and architectural draftsman, Fisch honed her skills in the vital mastery of sharing her distinctive visions with others.
