In the collection “Elara: The Strata of Another World,” Duncan Rawlinson offers a series that brings together the simplicity of photography with the emerging field of artificial intelligence, to craft a vision of what the surface of a far-off exoplanet, Elara, might look like. The images are a humble attempt to interpret landscapes that no human eye has seen, using the language of imagined geology. They are less about showcasing the technology behind their creation and more about evoking a sense of curiosity and wonder about the universe. These pictures are an invitation to ponder the geological narratives that distant worlds could hold, gently nudging the viewer to consider the vastness of space and the stories etched in the landscapes we have yet to see.
