Danielle Watson, The Land of the Elemental Beauty (Student (2019))

This series of images depicts the story of Lake Tyrell and how drought and floods interacts to create abstract poetry as though a painter wields his watercolour brush across a canvas. Each image allows us to take a step back from our conventional line of sight to provide a unique perspective in the hope it triggers an emotional response. As a result, we can find value in the landscape through an elevated portal that highlights the interaction of colours, geology, textures, and details which tells the landscapes often concealed story.
