Mineral bark (Jordan, Wadi Rum)

Seen from the sky, the Wadi Rum desert in Jordan reveals another face: that of a body of stone, crisscrossed by layers, veins, and scars. The red and ochre rock draws a living map, sculpted by millions of years of erosion, light, and wind.

This aerial photograph of Wadi Rum captures the very essence of the desert: a seemingly immobile territory, but in reality constantly transforming. On the surface, the pinkish hues of the sand contrast with the dark ruggedness of the cliffs, revealing a spectacular geology . Shadow traces lines like natural calligraphy, while the raking light highlights the reliefs, faults, and curves.

It is not just a landscape: it is an earthly memory , a mineral skin that keeps track of time. It questions our scale, our duration, in the face of this silent majesty.
