Eight Piles 2003

"Eight Piles" is a black and white photograph by David Burdeny, taken in 2003. The image portrays a minimalist composition of eight dark, indistinct shapes—likely rocks—emerging from the hazy surface of a body of water. The soft, ethereal quality of the photograph evokes a sense of tranquility and mystery, leaving the viewer to contemplate the relationship between the natural elements. Burdeny's work often explores the themes of landscape, light, and time, often employing long exposures to create a sense of otherworldly beauty.
