Dream Land
H2O assumes multiple forms. It floats as cotton-like flakes under plain blue sky. It adorns the rocky summits of our highest monuments, shinning white as crystalline blankets. It also flows, elegantly, sliding down over the surface of the lands. At some specific spots, you can actually see it falling free, endlessly. And when it finally finds a way to rest, paradise is what you sense. Blue paradise. Or maybe green.
About that strange thing one can call life: it’s all around. You can’t really miss it, no matter where you are. At certain regions, far away from the poles, where H2O falls heavily from the sky and the nearest star’s rays strike vertically, life explosion takes over. Green everywhere. Deep green, spread throughout the surface of the terrain. A long living carpet that changes altitudes and shapes.
This one planet… It is quite alive itself as well. It changes shapes, colours, temperatures. You look around, you see motion. You close your eyes, motion is what you hear. Most of land was carried away. Part of the land was blown away. At some places, abstract sculptures are what is left. Remaining testimony of ancient processes we can’t understand, written in languages one can’t read. Geometrical rock figures. Monuments. Monuments the unknown reality of a deep past.
Have you ever dreamed lands? Come dream Planet Earth with me.
I’m a landscape photografer based in Planet Earth. A geologist, and a deep nature observer.
My photography is not much about documenting the real world. It’s more about collecting and sharing visions of how the Earth can be felt. Impossible landscapes that actually exist. Perspectives and perceptions.
It’s also about walking, driving and flying. Shifting lands. Trekking, trekking and trekking. Into the wild. Waching everything from the summit. Heading all the way back to the valley.
And my mission is to induce contemplation state inside your head. In a way the "preserve" mantra will echo there till the end of your time.
