Shadows of Myth #1

The desert is alive and moving. This series of pictures focuses on anthropomorphism, the human tendency to attribute human characteristics to objects, animals or, in this case, landscape. Through this work I try to portray the stories, spirits, and fantastic creatures that inhabit and embody the desert. Going through the shoot, I found myself in front of potential limbs, faces, nudes, skins of otherwordly anthropomorphic creatures.

Some of them are self-standing, but I would like to play around with collage and composition to see how these stone giants move and interact. Still a work in progress, but worth sharing. I used temporary titles inspired by Western/Greek mythology. I would like to research Arabic mythology and rename them.
