Maria Michael, A Calculated Encounter (LANDSCAPE & ENVIRONMENT 2024)

This aerial shot captures a mesmerising scene of human interaction with nature. A circular formation of people, seemingly engaged in a morning ritual of exercise on the once pristine beach. The line of boats, their hulls gleaming in the sunlight, adds a sense of purpose and anticipation. The contrast between the organised human presence and the wild, untamed expanse of the beach creates a powerful and thought-provoking image.
