Over the Dunes

No. 22 of 100 · free · 300 dpi

What you seeFive bands of dunes in rose, plum and deep aubergine roll towards the viewer under a night sky, each crest touched by a fine line of moonlight. A young crescent hangs high to the right among scattered stars, lit on the side facing the set sun.

What it meansThe Islamic calendar follows the moon, so the crescent over open country is one of the oldest images of the month and of the journey through it.

Where it worksA calm, horizontal piece for a living room or above a long sideboard.
