Via ad Vulcanus

Via ad Vulcanus

In this striking black-and-white image, a pathway winds through a cemetery in Quetzaltenango, Guatemala, leading the eye toward a distant volcano that rises majestically in the background. The photograph captures the solemnity of the cemetery's rows of mausoleums and tombs, juxtaposed with the raw, untamed presence of the volcano. This piece, part of the Fragments of Light and Shadow collection, evokes a journey through life, death, and the forces of nature. The minimalist grayscale tones accentuate the textures and shapes, inviting the viewer to contemplate the paths we all traverse and the landscapes that endure beyond us.
