2022 Boundless Future

On site

Boundless Future, the 2022 Healing Arts Exhibition at Houston Methodist, focuses on possibilities without limitations. Dreams, reflections, visualizations offer us opportunities to see infinite potential ahead. Among the images presented a viewer may see a duality of vision – shadows are paired with brightness and a sign of hope.
Boundless Future is epitomized in the numerous species of flora and fauna in the environment; in the waters of the bayous, rivers, and oceans; or in the clouds and stars of the heavens above us. These photographs are representative interpretations of Houston Methodist’s ICARE values as experienced while focusing on the inspiration of the natural world. Enjoying the bountiful night sky, the dynamic rhythms of the seacoast or the peaceful revelations of fields and forests gives credence and promise for abundant prospects as we envision the future.

About the artist

Ziad El-Zaatari, MD

Doing photography lets me see the ordinary in new ways. It’s an outlet for me to be creative and gain a sense of achievement beyond my daily work. I’ve taken pictures ranging from microscopic (in my job as a Pathologist), terrestrial, and cosmic (astrophotography).

Enchanted Night – The summer stars and Milky Way are beautiful subjects to photograph. With some planning and the right equipment, I made a trip to Enchanted Rock State Park near Fredericksburg, TX to make this photo. In the foreground, are trees along a hiking path where I set up my DSLR camera and tripod that night. The stars and Milky Way are visible horizontally above the distant bright orange city lights of Austin, TX – lights I intentionally avoided by making a trip to the dark park away from the intense light pollution. The brightest spot of light in the sky is actually the planet Jupiter.

Texas Seagulls – [on a] trip to Surfside Beach, TX, my Dad decided to feed the many hungry seagulls flying around. So, they all flew in together to get a bite from him (just outside the field of view), making for a nice portrait of the birds.
