1717. Abandoned I. Sólheimasandur, Iceland.
Photo by Lizane Louw
A wreck abandoned on a black sand beach, a testament to the awe-inspiring beauty of Iceland. This photograph, for me, captures Iceland's captivating and otherworldly beauty. The juxtaposition of the abandoned wreckage against the ethereal landscape evokes a sense of wonder and contemplation. Yet, there is still a lot of mystery around what happened in the skies above Solheimansandur and the events that led to a plane wreck being nestled on this black sand beach, frozen in time forever.
This was the most challenging photograph I ever created. On our hike, we experienced wind that blew horizontally; the rain was beating down on us, and it was overcast and challenging because of the weather. I am still in awe of this photograph; I can't believe I could create this colour photograph, in a monotone grey pallet, in those adverse weather conditions. I love this work. It will forever be a visual journey of discovery for me because of the mystery and what I learn from art by looking at this work.
