Salar de Uyuni

starting at €90.00

The world's largest salt flat spreads across the Bolivian highlands at an altitude of 3,656 meters above sea level. Covering an area of over 10,000 km2, the history of this salt pan dates back to prehistoric lakes more than 40,000 years ago. When darkness gives way to blue hour and daylight, the view from Uyuni is reminiscent of the ice cover on the sea in Finland. Unfortunately, even this unique ecosystem is under threat. The salts contain coveted lithium and borax, among other things. Fortunately, Bolivia has not allowed foreign companies to exploit them.

RAYS OF COLOR – A series of visual energy

Color is light, and light has a significant effect on us. Although this is partly a matter of personal preference and cultural context, it has also been scientifically proven. Colors influence our emotions and actions. The most popular color is clearly blue, which is perceived as harmonious, reliable, and compassionate. Red attracts attention; it is dynamic, pleasant, even seductive. Sunny yellow, considered active and uplifting, increases concentration and a sense of happiness. Relaxing green, on the other hand, is the color of growth, renewal, nature, and peace. Is it any wonder that people have always enjoyed gazing at fire and water?

The images in this series can be ordered with or without a white border and stylish info text.
