This chapter testifies to our love of sand dunes. Being there at night is indeed a unique experience to live. Majestic and mysterious, vast and maybe hostile at first glance, they give us a unique perspective, a sense of power and smallness at the same time. The feeling of being alone is amplified by the fact that we are surrounded by an infinity of sand in every direction. Although it can be intimidating, being in these sand territories ignites some sense of euphoria, adventure, and freedom within us. Every desert can become a giant sandbox to explore and express our creativity. For us, the desert is one of those locations where we feel the need to go back. Sort of anchor points allowing us to see the progression we made over the years.

There is something very special about this image, but you can only notice it if you pay close attention. It was made after over a 1 ½ month of our road trip, creating every night. In our workflow, I (Kim) usually do a shape of light-painting at the beginning of shooting so Eric can adjust the settings and framing without having to run back and forth between me and the camera. At some point, I started to ask myself if I could execute a movement precisely enough so it would create an image that wouldn’t look like I was the one who made it. Here is probably my best attempt at doing so. A unique selfie light-painting picture.
