Earth, Fire, Water, Iceland

Iceland is land of geysers, glaciers, volcanoes and rough-hewn coastlines. Nowhere else on Earth do the four elements collide in such dramatic fashion as in Iceland. Art captures dramatic expressions of the planet’s geomorphology using composition, pattern and light to create a striking portrait of a volatile and dynamic landscape.
