Story
The Empty Quarter’s endless sands defy time. Wind carves its flow, light marks its stillness. This film unveils a desert vast and ancient, where time shifts with each gust across a boundless expanse.
Comment
The Empty Quarter offered an incredible backdrop to explore the relationship between time, space, and light. It’s a place that asks you to listen and I tried to translate that to film. I’m incredibly grateful to Nikon for recognizing a story told not through dialogue, but through presence. I’m so grateful it resonated.
