Ta'leef

William Miquel’s Ta’leef captures the unity of form set against the shifting patterns of reflection, where love becomes the anchor within uncertainty. This photograph belongs to his Parkland Series, an exploration of place, memory, and resilience shaped during his father’s recovery. The work draws on the Egyptian Geese that accompanied his neighborhood walks—symbols of fidelity and enduring connection—standing in sharp relief against the restless waves behind them. The title Ta’leef, meaning the uniting of hearts, extends this reflection beyond the image, evoking how love shapes form and gives order even in unsettled times. To collect from this series is to hold a fragment of that journey, a mirror of unity, endurance, and devotion. 22% of proceeds support the Stroke Foundation.
