Stepped pyramid under a sky with vivid vertical light leaks and cyan and red bands

Mark Borthwick, London

About

This photographic work by Mark Borthwick captures a large stone stepped pyramid under an atmospheric sky framed by vibrant vertical light leaks and repeating blue and red colour bands. The massive ancient structure dominates the center of the frame, showing weathered textured stone blocks across its tiers. A small figure stands near the base on sandy ground, providing scale against the towering monument. The analogue capture technique introduces pronounced optical artifacts and light streaks that stretch across the upper and lower edges of the composition. The overall palette combines earthy stone tones with vivid cyan, blue, and magenta highlights.
