Paul Kerr, Death & Beauty (LANDSCAPE 2025)

The vivid colours of the Aurora Australis play out across the southern skies near Canberra, Australia, casting ethereal light over a stark, lifeless tree. This series explores the contrast between the fleeting beauty of the aurora and the enduring presence of decay. The tree, long dead yet standing firm, mirrors the resilience of the land while framed by the vibrant, shifting sky—where death and beauty coexist in perfect, haunting balance.
