In the artist’s own words: “On our way to Antarctica, our guides told us that we were the first of 17 crews in the last 2 years able to stop at Cape Horn. Due to 40–50mph winds, massive waves and wake, the island is considered one of the most challenging places to visit on earth. When we saw this old, wooden church that seats up to just 12, I could not capture enough images of it. Among the unparalleled isolation and blasting winds - the entire scene felt surreal.”
