Poetry of Silence is an ongoing work of abstract aerial desert photography realized in the Namib desert and its surroundings.This series was created in the remote area of the northern Namib in between the first 15 Minutes after Sunrise.
The Namib Desert is often referred to as the world’s oldest desert. It has been in existence for some 43 million years, remaining unchanged in its present form for the last 2 million years.
Its name is derived from the Nama language, implying “an area where there is nothing.”
