WENDY KLEIN, BLACK SUMMER BLUR (LANDSCAPE 2023)

I took this image December 2022, which was three years after the devasatating fires that significantly impacted the landscape on Kangaroo Island. It is so good to see the new regeration of regrowth amongst the black trunks of the trees. i decided to do a single long exposure as there was plenty of moving clouds and my idea was to try to tell a story of the bush fires now being a blur and life moves on. The long exposure I felt was, to me, telling it how it was three years ago - black tree trunks and a blur of the past with new life springing forth
