Julie Kenny, Reflections in salt (AERIAL 2025)

Underneath a vast, open sky, a salt lake stretches out like a mirror, its surface reflecting the fluffy cumulus clouds above. On the smooth expanse of the lake's crystalline crust, the clouds' reflections appear as if painted with watercolours, their forms softened by the salt formations below. The symmetry between sky and lake blurs the line between reality and illusion, creating a seamless blend of earth and sky.
