About "Dead Shapes - The Sentinel"

by Fabrizio Gallo

About the artwork

“Dead Shapes” is a series shot in Deadvlei, in the heart of the Namib Desert.
Here, the dead trees haven’t disappeared: they remain standing, petrified by light and time.
Charred trunks rise from the white clay soil like carbonized sculptures, in a silence that feels absolute.
Behind them, red dunes stretch like stage curtains of sand, while the flawless sky draws a sharp line between earth and nothingness.
Each tree is a frozen gesture, a figure that bears witness to another era.
These bare forms no longer speak of life, but of resilience, beauty, and time carved into matter.
A suspended horizon: where a forgotten lake once held sap and breath, now death becomes art.
Among all the petrified trees of Deadvlei, this one feels the most dynamic: reaching skyward, with branches that bend like outstretched arms, as if searching beyond the horizon.
Its trunk stands tall and strong, yet each branch expresses a gesture, an opening, a reach.
Behind it, the red dune stretches smooth like a stage backdrop, and the saturated sky turns the scene into a perfect balance of form, space, and silence.
It’s an image of rare, simple, and perfect elegance, repeating forever and always, like a motionless sentinel watching over the desert, carved in time.
