The Story
“Abstract dunes” is a black and white photography portraying a desert landscape. As for the romantic era (19th century), landscapes often represented the complex inner landscape of human beings, and deserts were of course a type of landscape often used as metaphor due to its extreme climate. The black and white brings the viewer back to the birth of photography, and perhaps creates a sense of nostalgia which resonates along with the history of photography.
