About the artwork

This aerial photograph takes us on a journey into the pristine wilderness of the Okavango Delta, located in the Moremi Game Reserve in Botswana. Captured from a helicopter, this picture offers a spectacular view of a group of six zebras gracefully making their way through this unique swamp area.

The light on this early morning captures the Okavango Delta in a magical phenomenon, where the morning sun slowly awakens the vast waterways and green vegetation. The morning light casts long shadows over the landscape and animals, adding a dramatic effect to the composition.

At the centre of the picture, zebras move gracefully through the swamp landscape. Their striped coats stand out strikingly against the green background of the delta, which was largely dry at the time. The herd seems to move synchronously, guided by the natural rhythms of their environment.

The perspective from the helicopter gives a unique perspective of the Okavango Delta's wildlife and nature. Vast waterways meander through the landscape, surrounded by rich vegetation in the wetlands. It is a vivid reminder of the lush biodiversity this piece of nature has to offer. The zebras, as true icons of the African savannah, add an unmistakably wild character to the scene.

The photograph evokes feelings of wonder at the untamed beauty of nature. It shows the balance of the Okavango Delta's ecosystem and reminds us that we should take care of it. The importance of preserving such pristine areas for future generations is great.
