The photograph is part of a meticulously crafted limited edition of 5, each hand numbered and accompanied by a certificate of authenticity. The textured, luminous surface of the fine art paper highlights the photograph’s intricate details, from the soft gradients in the sky to the rich, velvety blacks of the silhouetted sandstone formations.

This timeless work is securely packaged in a protective cardboard container and shipped insured via express delivery to ensure it reaches its destination in pristine condition. Artist Biography: Ugne is a Lithuanian fine art photographer based in London whose work is deeply inspired by the complexity and beauty of nature. With a background in photographic science, her practice is rooted in the tactile elegance of traditional printing methods and analog film, resulting in works that are both meditative and timeless.

Through her work, Ugne invites viewers to contemplate not only the fragile beauty of nature but also the urgency of preserving it. Her photographic expressions combine light, shadow, and abstraction, creating visual poetry that celebrates the vast and mysterious systems of life.
