ALTIPLANO (ONGOING)
I‘ve been exploring the high-lands of the Granada province since 2015. I read that 2 million years ago it formed an inner basin that connected the Mediterranean and the Atlantic. Life thrived in unimaginable ways, a fauna not known to man and long ago extinct. The implacable pace of geological time transformed the region; the area rose and the water drained to the west. The land dried out forming what is today a desert-like expanse.
This is one of the least populated areas in South-Spain, and yet, as arqueological studies suggest, perhaps the home of the first human settlement in the continent. Underneath the earth might be some answers. For a photographer, all I have is the surface.
I keep coming back.
