Min Enghauser's DESERT DWELL

MIN ENGHAUSER
Desert Dwell: Photographs from the Anza-Borrego Desert

There is a thing that happens in quiet places. In places of openness and solitude. Its a coming together of the essence of the inhabitants and the spirit of place. Plant and rock, rock and sky, sky and mountain. These inhabitants speak to each other without words and at their core is the spirit of the other. In the rock you see the mountain in the mountain you see the sky. This speaks to the relationships of everything, the interconnectedness of all things and the projection of our essence outward where it is absorbed and reflected back.

The Anza-Borrego Desert is one of these places. A place large and open but with hidden washes and canyons. A place where rock is slowly revealed by rain and mountains reach up to the the clouds that mimic them. The ever but slowly changing landscape is a place of unity, cohesion, beauty, mystery and fate. These photographs are the instruments through which this is discovered.
