Here is a study of natural processes – the power of a desert environment to shape, bleach and mould all features of the landscape. This tree has been uncovered and burnt in the desert sun, acting as a reminder of unique patterns of existence in arid deserts.

Here lies the remains of an early outback dwelling – broken rock littering the desert floor. This building, destroyed by the movement of the dunes, is successively hidden and revealed as a function of the wind. The image speaks to the human drama of survival in a challenging environment.
