Clint Enns – Tired of Winter

A gray, foggy roadside, dirty snow, power lines, bare trees. Against this backdrop, a man lies face down in the snow, exhausted, exposed, his face flushed red. Next to him stands another, older, in a coat and rubber boots, his gaze lowered, as if he can hardly bear what he sees—or as if it has long since become routine.

"Tired of Winter" is more than a scene of seasonal exhaustion. Enns paints a picture of hopelessness, of long waiting, of silent suffocation in the same old routine. Here, winter is not a natural idyll, but a metaphor for social coldness and a life that has lost its vitality.

The image oscillates between absurd theater and documentary grit. It could be an allegory of depression, decay, the weariness of old age—or simply a bitter commentary on the endless Canadian winters.
