This image merges landscape, water and air, the three elements that constitute nature for John Davies. The isolated landscape shows little sign of human impact, but its apparent sense of timelessness is misleading. Davies has said of this series on the Cumbrian mountains, ‘Nothing remains constant. In the landscape we face the immemorial and a continuous existence that far exceeds our physical lives’.
