This black-and-white photograph, taken in the Sahara Desert in Mauritania, shows a hushed and minimalist landscape. About two-thirds of the photo is filled with a large sand dune. The sand dune has soft lines and a quiet texture. The surface has a pattern of sand, with no traces of humans or animals. The top edge of the dune is slightly curved, leading the eye to the upper part of the photo, where the sky can be seen.
The sky is white-grey and empty, with no clouds. The transition from the sand dune to the sky is clear and calm. Because the image is black and white, the shape of the landscape stands out even more. Light and shadow create a subtle contrast in the dune. The texture of the sand becomes visible in the fine lines running down.
The simplicity of the image emphasises the vastness of the desert landscape. This picture shows how powerful a natural play of forms can be, without the distraction of colour or movement. The landscape of the Sahara offers space and stillness. This shot focuses on form, light and proportion, characteristic of minimalist photography in the desert.
