A desert full of life
Noah Gallagher
Australian photographer Noah Gallagher went for a solo journey through Egypt, from Cairo to the oasis of Siwa, documenting the landscape and its people.
“A desert full of life” is a visual journey into a landscape usually associated with emptiness which, through Gallagher’s gaze, reveals its quiet liveliness of nature and people indissolubly intertwined.
Different curves of sand, shapes and shadow, buildings and salt marshes, solitary figures standing in the horizon.
