New art exhibit on water subjects opens March 17 at Manassas City Hall

Beginning March 17 at Manassas city’s new art exhibit location, “The Hall in City Hall,” photographer Hannele Lahti’s “Ebb and Flow” photos will explore the visual fabric of life.

Have you ever watched the ebb and flow of water as it laps against the bank, whether it is a river or the ocean? Ebb & Flow is a photo exhibit capturing the fleeting moment when all variables meld together and are stilled. Lahti’s exhibit opens on Tuesday, March 17 and runs through April 24 at the City of Manassas City Hall, 9027 Center Street in Manassas.

Hannele Lhati is a nationally-recognized documentary and fine art photographer who creates images that explore the wonder and fragility of the natural world.  She is the owner of Hannele Lahti Photography and a contract photographer for National Geographic, according to a news release from Patty Prince, the city’s public affairs spokesman.

As a child, Lahti grew up on a lake and learned to respect the natural world, to honor its beauty as she sat by the water’s edge with her grandfather.

Exhibits in The Hall rotate on a monthly basis and include different forms of visual art.  Visiting The Hall is free and open to the public from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. and later when evening meetings are held in the building.
