In this series, I am exploring the ideas of solitude, time, natural beauty and grandeur. The rocky structures that dot the US Pacific coast, called monoliths, stretch from the US border with Mexico into Canada. Generated by volcanic activity, the monoliths are oftentimes surrounded by fog, in a mysterious, dramatic and otherworldly atmosphere. This set of images are part of a larger project imagined in white and black, as this was the most expressive way of re-creating these unique landscapes
