The Arterial Pulse in 30cm Resolution

A masterpiece of "Ancient Geology." This portrait of the Pilbara region in Western Australia captures the raw, terrestrial power of our planet from a vertical satellite perspective.

From the deep ochre heart of oxidized iron to the silvery-white dried creek beds, every line represents eons of erosion where time itself is carved into the earth. Developed through the lens of "Quiet Realism," this work reveals the intricate textures of rusted soil and the sharp shadows of ancient ridges at an extraordinary 30cm-class resolution.

Like the planet’s own circulatory system pulsating through the desert, this piece connects the 4-billion-year-old legacy of the Earth with the cutting-edge orbital data of today.
