More about this photograph
Description
This photograph exemplifies Francisco Coto’s attention to forms, structures, and abstractions found in nature. Here, his eye transforms an ephemeral phenomenon on the beach into a composition reminiscent of trees, roots, or river systems seen from above. These dendritic patterns form as water drains through wet sand, eroding and carrying small amounts of sediment as it flows.
