Victor A Dyck’s camera and his love for photography, growing up on a farm where he found himself indelibly drawn to the form, structure, and beauty of the amazing world around him.
While many might consider this environment lonely and difficult, Victor found it rich with treasure — a place to observe, learn, experience, and be part of nature’s magic. It is no wonder that Victor’s images are filled with profound emotion and soulfulness, connecting the viewer to the subject.
Many consider him to have a special “observer” gift — a sense of what is behind the image and a gift for capturing those unseen aspects through photography.
One can feel the moment captured, the essence of the scene – as if one is there – leaves rustling through the golden canyon, the breath of the lion as the hunt is consummated, the reflective look of a child trying to understand a confusing world.
A pictorial narrative of photographer Dyck’s international journey, with accompanying prose by Franks, takes the viewer on a virtual, symbolic journey of physical, mental, and spiritual revival. Similar to all journeys into the unknown, this journey starts with a patient receiving a diagnosis of head and neck cancer.
The viewer walks with the protagonist through many moods, on the journey through realization, decision-making, surgery, survival, and coming to terms with a new physical, mental, and spiritual presence. As with any enforced journey, the cancer process involves initial shock and disbelief, anger and resolution, stability, and, finally, an inner spiritual acceptance, a state of personal peace.
Dyck, a caregiver for a head and neck cancer survivor, has used his photographs and the prose of Franks, himself a head and neck cancer survivor, to interpret the cancer surgery survivor’s thought fragments — evident on one level but complex, metaphoric, and cryptic on other levels.
The truth of these two journeys—one physical, international journey in real-time and the other a journey of the mind and spirit—speaks to the truths of all enforced journeys.
The artist and writer hope each viewer will draw on personal experience, memories, and reflections from their journeys to conclude renewal, resurgence, and spiritual renaissance.
