The rice terraces of Maligcong, located in the mountainous region of Luzon in the Philippines, are revealed here in a magnificent black and white interpretation. This treatment highlights the textures and organic lines of these landscapes sculpted by generations of farmers.
The terraces, carefully laid out on the mountainsides, form a labyrinth of sinuous curves. Each level reflects the balance between man and nature, a testament to ancestral know-how. In black and white, the emphasis is on the striking contrasts between the shadows and the light reflections on the water, and on the depth of this unique panorama.
This tranquil landscape exudes an atmosphere of serenity and invites contemplation. The monochrome offers a timeless perspective, underlining both the grandeur of the landscape and the humility of the local communities who tend this natural gem.
These rice paddies are much more than an agricultural site: they represent a living cultural heritage, uniting tradition and natural beauty.
