Mountainscapes

In the Mountainscapes series, the Starns capture the slow-motion collision of tectonic plates, creating dramatic, seemingly eternal forms. These geological processes, unfolding over vast periods of time, present a stark contrast to human time, which is but a brief moment in the planet’s history. The mountains, as the Starns see them, are living photographs in progress—an ever-evolving testament to the passage of time and the impermanence of all things.
