Where Darkness Meets Touch by Oviul Maruf

“Where Darkness Meets Touch” is a fine art photograph by Oviul Maruf, a young Bangladeshi photographer known for his bold use of light and shadow. In this frame, Maruf captures a delicate balance between illumination and obscurity — a silent dialogue between what is seen and what is felt.

The extended palm, bathed partly in light, symbolizes human connection and the essence of touch, while the surrounding darkness represents the unknown depths of emotion. The photo beautifully merges simplicity with meaning, inviting viewers to feel rather than just observe.

As Maruf describes, “This image isn’t just about a hand — it’s about the moment when light meets life, and silence starts to speak.”
