Diane Armstrong, Awakening: Kati Thanda blooming. (AERIAL 2025)

Seen from above, Lake Eyre becomes a living canvas — shifting between silence and movement, desolation and renewal. In Uprising, Salt Bloom, Emergence and Genesis, I explore the lake’s moments of transformation, when form and colour seem to rise from the earth itself. Each image captures a different rhythm of creation: the surge, the bloom, the stirring, the birth. Together they reflect the beauty and transience of a landscape that is constantly remade by nature’s hand — a reminder of the quiet power that lies beneath the surface of our changing world.
