Apocolypse II
1967

A black and white photograph depicting four silhouetted figures standing on a beach, facing a large, intricately branched tree that stands out in stark contrast against a dark background. The tree's branches are highlighted, creating a dramatic and almost surreal effect, while gentle waves lap at the shore in the foreground.
