Flying over Iceland is an exercise in instinct. The landscape changes in seconds, and from the air, glacial rivers, volcanic plains, mineral deposits, and meltwater become an ever-changing network of abstract forms that exist only for a moment before shifting again. This series explores the remarkable patterns created where ice, water, and volcanic terrain intersect. Photographed from above, these landscapes reveal a perspective that is rarely seen from the ground, transforming natural processes into compositions that blur the line between photography and abstraction.
Dede Pickering is a photographer whose work explores the intersection of humanity and the natural world. Having traveled to more than one hundred countries across all seven continents, her images reflect a deep curiosity about culture, landscape, and the fragile environments that connect us all. Her work has evolved from documentary street photography to include aerial perspectives and abstract studies of the polar regions. Through these shifting vantage points, Pickering reveals patterns, textures, and moments of stillness that speak to both the beauty and impermanence of our planet.
