The Sand Sea

In this image, three mountains in the background resemble the pyramids of Egypt, suggesting that ancient builders may have drawn inspiration from such natural formations. The mountains are larger at their base and like pyramids become smaller at the top. In order to support the weight of huge stones at the top, the area must become smaller as it rises. Mountains and pyramids.

The foreground features undulating sand dunes, which mimic the fluid dynamics of ocean waves, albeit at a much slower pace. This resemblance highlights how granular materials like sand can exhibit wave-like behavior under the influence of wind, heat and gravity.

My hope was to capture these underlying patterns and connections in nature, offering viewers a glimpse manifestations of underlying interactions.
