In this intriguing work, the photographer captures the essence of southern Bonaire's history and landscape. The ruin of an old building forms a powerful, almost graphic composition, with a window in the centre that precisely overlooks Red Slave's iconic obelisk. The soft glow of the setting sun casts a warm hue on the weathered walls, creating a harmonious balance between ruin and nature.
This photograph tells a story of bygone times, colonial traces and lived-in structures holding out against the elements. The rugged vegetation in the foreground and the silhouette of the Willemstoren in the background complete the picture.
