Archival ink on handmade paper
Brian Merriam's From Absolute Recedes 1 captures the ethereal presence of Machapuchare, the sacred mountain in Nepal, printed on the tactile surface of handmade paper. This photograph belongs to his The Absolute Recedes series, an exploration of the natural world as a profound mirror for time, transition, and the interconnectedness of the micro and macro. The work invites contemplation, offering a visual meditation on the grandeur of nature and its subtle cues about our place within it. This series ultimately culminated in Merriam's celebrated book, The Absolute Recedes, deepening the narrative of this exploration.
