Built into the Mountain

A$500.00

Location: Phuktal Monastery, Zanskar, India

Phuktal Monastery is built around a natural cave in the remote Lungnak Valley of Zanskar. Its buildings gather against the cliff above the river and are accessible only by an approach on foot through the rocky gorge. The trek there is part of the experience of reaching it. In this photograph, the monastery initially seems almost absorbed into the mountain. Gradually, white walls and small windows separate themselves from the surrounding stone, revealing the careful human presence within a formidable landscape.

Artwork #24 — A024
Stretched Canvas, No Floating Frame
Size: 60 × 40 cm (WxH)

Limited edition of 150, across all sizes and materials combined.
