Description

The images in Orka — which means "life force" — were shot by Steina in the wilds of her native Iceland in 1996. A "tracer" device records the micro-movements of nature over time, such as the paths of birds and waves. Steina's digitally altered images of nature have a stark and often startling beauty.
