Carved (Series)
DESCRIPTION
Voids cut out of sandstone rock faces create sacred tombs to provided a safe passage to the afterlife and beyond. As time passes by the history erodes, turning its history into dust.
Marking the desert landscape, these architectural monuments to the divine make one wonder; where did the Nabatheans live for, this life or the next?
