Immaculate Mary statue behind steamed glass Toronto | Limited Edition of 10
In this evocative fine-art photograph, my lens captures the delicate interplay of light and shadow as it falls upon a small, religious figurine nestled behind the steamed glass of a storefront in Toronto, Canada. The monochromatic palette imparts a timeless quality to the image, underscoring the enduring nature of faith in the face of a bustling urban environment.
The glass, clouded by condensation, obscures the Immaculate Mary statue, creating a sense of mystery and intrigue. In addition, the soft distortion lends an ethereal, almost otherworldly quality to the photograph, as though the viewer is granted a fleeting glimpse into a sacred realm.
Toronto, a city steeped in rich cultural history and diversity, provides the perfect setting for this still life. A vibrant metropolis is a home to many religions and beliefs, exemplifying the beauty of human connection and spiritual exploration.
From a photographic standpoint, the composition and use of negative space elevate the image, drawing the viewer's attention to the subtle details and textures in the scene. The contrast between the sharp lines of the storefront's architecture and the softness of the steamed glass adds depth and complexity to the photograph.

Limited Edition of 10
This photograph is released as a signed and numbered limited edition of only 10 prints in total across all available sizes combined—not 10 prints in each size.
Every size is drawn from the same edition. Whether the photograph is purchased as a small print or at the largest available size, it uses one of the 10 edition numbers.
I personally sign and number each print on the reverse, and every print is accompanied by a signed Certificate of Authenticity recording its title, dimensions, medium, edition number, and date of issue.
Once all 10 prints have been sold, the edition will be permanently closed. No additional numbered editions of the photograph will be produced in another size or format.
Premium Archival Fine Art Prints
I personally produce every photograph using archival pigment inks on premium archival paper with a subtle luster finish.
The paper provides rich tonal depth, excellent fine-detail reproduction, and a refined surface that reduces distracting glare under normal indoor lighting. It is especially well suited to both color and black-and-white photography.
Each photograph is sold as an unframed fine art print, allowing it to be framed according to the collector’s space and personal style.
Before a print leaves my studio, I carefully inspect it for color, tonal accuracy, surface quality, and overall presentation. Nothing is outsourced, and every finished print passes through my hands.
Worldwide Delivery Included
Every print is personally produced, inspected, signed, numbered, and carefully packaged by me at my studio in Haliburton, Ontario, Canada.
Worldwide delivery is included in the listed price, so there is no additional shipping charge added during checkout. I select an appropriate tracked delivery service based on the destination, print size, and current shipping requirements.
Delivery times vary by destination and may be affected by customs processing or circumstances beyond my control.
Because I also travel extensively to create new photographic work, studio dispatch may occasionally be delayed while I am away. When that happens, the print will be produced and shipped as soon as I return to the studio.
