Yiew Lee Siew, Symphony of Stripes (ANIMAL & NATURE 2026)

Tracking the subtle dynamics of zebras in African wilderness, these images contrast the vulnerability of the individual with the security of the herd. The sequence moves through varying terrain—a solitary mountain zebra framed by autumnal foliage, a herd trekking along arid dust roads, a line gathering against an open horizon, and the protective labyrinth of stripes within a crowded group.
