We mortals are but shadows and dust.
This aerial photograph was captured at Coral Pink Sand Dunes State Park in Utah during the summer of 2024.
The image reveals tire traces etched into the dunes, cutting across a landscape shaped by thousands of years of wind and erosion. Beneath these shifting sands lies the memory of a land that once supported dense evergreen vegetation, a reminder that deserts are not static but the result of long geological and climatic transformation.
From above, the marks appear almost calligraphic, contrasting human movement against the slow, patient motion of the dunes. What was once a thriving ecosystem is now a vast expanse of sand, continuously rewritten by wind, time, and presence.
