Jenna Matus, Ghost Village (October theme: Light and Dark)

The locals say the village of Al Madam, United Arab Emirates is haunted by a jinn. Twelve houses and a mosque sit abandoned, left to be enveloped by the desert. The buildings slowly being swallowed by sand creates startling and surreal imagery.
