Kerstin Lembke, Salt Lake Symphony in Pingrup, Western Australia (AERIAL 2023)

A salt lake in Pingrup, Western Australia, reveals its hidden beauty from above. The series of aerial photos explores a section of the lake, where the pink, white and grey colours paint the lake’s surface and form intricate patterns and shapes. The photos resemble abstract paintings, each one unique and expressive, evoking emotion and movement. They capture the texture and depth of the salt lake, as some areas appear smooth and flat, while others are rough and uneven.
