Devoured

Devoured

Abandoned since 1956, the town of Kolmanskop in the heart of the Namib desert in South West Africa, is slowly being reclaimed by Nature.

Metaphorically, to me, the sand represents time and the doorways represent different chapters in our lives. As we move from one to the next, each room fills with memories, knowledge and experiences shaping who we are. I used a fish eye lens on this shot to accentuate the sheer volume of sand as it swells inside the fragile wood structures.
