Perhaps in keeping with Buddhist philosophy, the exhibition does not have a specific entry point. The landscapes are a
good place to begin. The most prominent, an immense vista taken from
Bhutan’s 7300-meter-high Mount Jomolhari, shows the ruins of a
fortress silhouetted against the blindingly white peaks of Tibet’s
Mount Kailash. A striated gray sky is the only clue to the film’s long
exposure time. The altitude is palpable. “I felt I captured the sacred
mountain’s form in a radiant halo of light,” Mr. Izu writes.

-O-

Hard jagged peaks of light

Haggard but firm over the world

Unbeknownst to us but never further than a trip

Upside down they look like edges

Right-side up majestic pensives

Crescent moons like diamonds in an otherwise fertile field
