Honorable Mention
Abstract
Professional

"Atacama Desert, from the Trilogy Natural Cycles of Nature"
"Atacama Desert" is an homage to Chile. It was at some point a part of the ocean's floor. Today we can contemplate the beauty that it grants us and the strength of nature, through designs caused by the wind. The colors are genuinely dramatic and the shapes truly defiant. The trilogy "Natural Cycles of Nature" allowed me to be a witness of an unrepeatable moment.
