EDITORS COMMENTS
The sun breaks through the clouds on Skerries, a remote and tranquil island off the east coast of Scotland. This breathtaking print captures the ethereal beauty of September 22,2011, when nature's elements aligned to create a mesmerizing scene. With its treeless landscape and a population of only 65 residents, Out Skerries remains an isolated haven untouched by modernity. In this picture-perfect moment, the golden rays of sunlight pierce through billowing clouds, casting a soft glow upon the island's rugged terrain. The solitary electricity pylon stands tall against the vast open space, creating an intriguing contrast between man-made structures and untouched nature. Shadows dance across rolling hills as if in harmony with the gentle breeze that sweeps over this idyllic place. The significance of this image is heightened by its timing: it coincides with humanity reaching a milestone - seven billion people inhabiting our planet. Amidst this global growth, Skerries serves as a poignant reminder of how small pockets of existence can still thrive amidst vast expanses. Olivia Harris skillfully captures not just a picturesque landscape but also evokes contemplation about our relationship with nature and isolation. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are reminded to cherish these serene moments where human presence is scarce and Mother Nature reigns supreme.
