A Dream Within a Dream: The Syk

The Syk is a photographic response to the rock formations of Petra and Wadi Rum where I felt profoundly how they are suffused with the antiquity of geologies and human histories. The image titles are from "The Hand of Stone Draws the Place" by the Syrian poet Adonis.
