Sands of Time

A barbed wire fence cuts across the barren desert, its twisted strands casting shadows on the sun-bleached sand. The photograph captures the tension between separation and vastness, where the wire’s sharp edges contrast with the smooth, distant mountains. It is a study in barriers—how they shape the landscape of our lives, dividing what is from what could be. Yet beyond the fence, the mountains rise, softened by the horizon’s glow, suggesting that beyond every obstacle lies the promise of something greater. The image speaks to the slow process of overcoming, where each step forward brings us closer to the distant peaks.
