Sue Curtis, After the Burn: Alpine Recovery (BLACK & WHITE 2025)

This series explores the stark elegance of alpine trees stripped by fire in the Mt Hotham region of Victoria, Australia. The skeletal remains of snow gums stand like natural sculptures, shaped by fire, wind, and ice. Captured in the high country during spring, the images speak to the harsh beauty and resilience of nature in recovery.
