"Wasteland"
Initially, I took this picture because I quite liked the simplicity of the rolling hills and tilled earth illuminated softly by an overcast sky. During the editing process, however, I felt rather inclined to emphasise the lonely, bare nature of the scene and draw out the ominous atmosphere to depict an almost apocalyptic landscape. This I did mainly by darkening the clouds and desaturating the colours of the soil in the foreground and the trees in the distance.

The philosophical part of me is strangely moved by the desolation and loneliness that this image conveys, especially in the light of the recent pandemic and consequential political and social tensions.
