23rd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Artistic
Wild

The horses move through grassland like spirits of the soil. Muscle and breath shaped from the same clay as her. She stands among them, neither wild nor tamed, both belonging to the earth’s pulse. With this image I wanted to express what it means to be human on this planet. We share the land with animals that rise from the same source. We are all simply creatures born of one mother, Earth.
