Studies explores thermophiles, heat-loving microorganisms that thrive in extreme geothermal environments. These organisms are modern examples of some of Earth’s earliest forms of life, with microbial evidence dating back around 3.5 billion years. Their colours, textures, and formations feel both ancient and otherworldly, suggesting what life might look like beyond the landscapes we know. I was drawn to the smaller worlds within the landscape. I moved closer, focusing on details that are often overlooked: colours, textures, and formations. Because they are photographs, we instinctively search for something recognizable, but without horizon lines, scale, or familiar points of reference, the images become abstract. These macro landscapes ask us to look again and reconsider what a landscape can be.
