Sand & Lime
This photographic series captures the hypnotic atmosphere of Kolmanskop , the abandoned former diamond mine in southern Namibia. Considered one of the world's most iconic ghost towns, this place—which was prosperous and vibrant in the early 20th century thanks to the diamond rush—now lies almost swallowed by the desert dunes .
The images depict silent, sand-filled interiors, open doors leading to rooms frozen in time, houses leaning in the wind, and a desert light that transforms each space into a surreal scene. The blend of abandoned colonial architecture and unforgiving nature creates a unique aesthetic: poetic, stark, and deeply evocative .
Each photograph captures the tension between what once was and what the sand reclaims, revealing a place frozen in a haunting beauty. This collection is perfect for lovers of documentary photography, conceptual art, and desolate landscapes , as well as for those seeking pieces that convey history, mystery, and a powerful visual presence.
