Graciela Iturbide

Artist, Mexican, born 1942

The image shows a barren landscape. Dead, leafless trees stand among sand dunes. The horizon is visible near the top of the image, where the sandy ground meets a cloudy sky. The color palette is muted, with browns and off-whites dominating. Ripples in the sand contrast with the stark trees. The composition conveys stillness and emptiness, with the sky and land dominating the scene.
