In the artist’s own words: “I really love this photo of the remains of a U.S. naval plane that crashed on a black sand beach in 1973 because of the journey that it took to get there. Pull off the road and walk down a rock road into nothingness for 45 minutes. It’s like a different planet. In every direction there is nothing but small black rocks covering the landscape for miles. It was quite foggy and looked like something out of a horror movie. A desolate environment blanketed by fog as far as the eye could see.”
