A window through stone into sky. Portal of Light frames the expansive beauty of Wadi Rum through the natural aperture of a sandstone arch. The deep silhouette of the rock foreground contrasts with the radiant starburst of the rising sun, creating a theatrical and transcendent view of the desert for Entryways and Spiritual Spaces.
From Lens to Code
Natural arches are nature's own frames, directing our gaze to the landscape beyond. With Portal of Light, I wanted to capture the feeling of looking through a geological window at the dawn of time. By utilizing the arch as a silhouette, I directed the generative process to emphasize the contrast between the heavy, ancient stone and the ephemeral, streaked light of the cirrus clouds, creating a composition that feels like a gateway to another world.
