About the photograph
From high above Kati Thanda–Lake Eyre, nature reveals a stunning, abstract pattern across the salt-encrusted landscape. The aerial view presents shapes that resemble a school of fish swimming in formation, frozen in time. Their earthy tones stand out against the white, arid expanse, evoking the imagery of an underwater scene, despite being deep in the heart of Australia’s vast desert. The photograph captures the surreal interplay of colours and textures in a land shaped by ancient waters and shifting sands. This unique perspective invites you to stand alongside me, marvelling at nature’s artistry and the quiet beauty of this remote landscape. It’s a reminder of how the desert, with its minimalistic beauty, mirrors life in unexpected ways, transforming arid land into something reminiscent of a vibrant, living ocean.
