Description: This photograph by local artist Tom Sauerwein, titled Bottles and Stripes, captures a minimalist yet playful arrangement of glass bottles accented by brightly colored straws. The artist’s careful attention to reflection and light transforms an ordinary set of objects into a striking study of form, rhythm, and repetition. The glossy surfaces of the bottles mirror one another, while the vertical stripes of the straws create a lively visual contrast against the muted background. Sauerwein’s mastery lies in his ability to elevate simplicity, turning a quiet tabletop still life into a conversation between texture, transparency, and color. Based in Fredericksburg, he continues to find inspiration in everyday compositions, revealing the beauty in balance and design through his lens.
