About this work

This photo shows a quiet, windswept landscape with tall grasses swaying in the foreground. Behind them, a steep, rocky cliff rises, its surface rough and uneven. The sky above is pale, almost blending into the light tones of the dunes. The grasses look like they’re moving, even though it’s still. The way the light hits the cliff makes some parts look darker and others almost white. Check out the Museum of Ethnography to see this photo in person.
