"The two landscapes are seemingly completely opposing to one another - boiling hot, dry desert vs. freezing icy mountains. But when I was imagining the feeling of being in these places, I realized they actually have a lot more in common than appears to be. What they have in common is the sense of vast emptiness, spaciousness, and a sort of monotony, with occasional snowflakes / dust floating in the air. I was also imagining the feeling of loneliness and melancholy one might feel amidst such vast, open landscapes." -  Shai Portugaly⁣
