ARTWORK DESCRIPTION

#Concept/Story: Watching an active volcano is a timeless experience, where the improbable triad of reverence, awe and fear strike your heart right at the same time, quickly expanding these sensations to the rest of the body, with the whole being fused into a tingling and shivering state of surrender... We are supposed to escape from these places, as they create unfortunate destruction in so many locations, but conditions in Iceland were near perfect to witness with security the birth of new earth rising from the core of the planet. I spent three weeks in Iceland in July completely obsessed with the possibility of watching the hypnotizing flow of lava, the sight of glowing earth blood running out of a crust wound, attempting to reach a new balance of pressure and harmony. I partially succeeded in my attempt, being able to film and photograph a highly active caldera with my drone, as well as film some extremely intense lava rivers under harsh mid-day light, melting the bottom of my surviving drone. It was not perfect, but I could not ask for more, as I felt each moment as a blessing, despite the intense physical exhaustion, body aches, sleep deprivation, strong winds and all those "comfortable" things Iceland is so fond of. Fate would dictate that I would have to return once again in September, where I could finally create images as this one... # Location: Fagradalsfjall Volcano, Iceland, September 2021 # Technique/Medium: Drone Photography
