EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Adrian Arbib showcases the haunting beauty of Namibia's Namib Naukluft desert. The image captures a desolate beach strewn with whale bones, remnants of a once vibrant marine life. In the distance, an abandoned diamond mine stands as a testament to the region's tumultuous past and its connection to De Beers, the renowned diamond company that owns this restricted area. The photograph offers a glimpse into the enigmatic allure of this untouched wilderness where diamonds are said to lie scattered on the surface of the ground. However, it is important to note that commercial use is not mentioned in this context. Instead, we are invited to contemplate the delicate balance between nature and human intervention in this arid landscape. The vast expanse of sandy dunes stretching towards the Atlantic coast creates an ethereal backdrop for these decaying structures and ancient whale remains. It serves as a reminder of both nature's resilience and our impact on fragile ecosystems. Arbib's composition skillfully juxtaposes elements such as silicone sand, dry landscapes, damaged land rights, and forgotten buildings against Namibia's wild beauty. This thought-provoking image invites viewers to reflect upon themes of exploitation versus preservation while immersing themselves in the raw magnificence of Africa's Namibian desert.
