No, these photos have not been photoshopped or editted in any way. I woke up in a sepia world. It was amazing. In my whole 17 years, I've never seen anything like this. Although my thoughts changed, when I actually went outside, as the dust was very irritating the whole day. There were many remarks such as "Uluru exploded" and the "world is ending". It did feel like a scene from a scary movie.

As I was driving to school in a dirt-filled car (outside), I pondered about the representation of this unfamilar environment. What did it actually represent? A breakdown in the beauty of the city? or something more personal... such as the breakdown of people in this town? This event inspired me.





Mystery in form

The city erupted in questions as the city filled with red dust
The sepia-like sky and the covered sun, gave us insecurities and mistrust.
Was it bad or beauty?
Or perhaps both.
Both representing the beauty in the breakdown
and the breakdown in the beauty
And as I follow the unanswered, I saw a white dove,
Flying across the thick dust
My answer was clear.
