Dustscapes

One day I saw beautiful patterns. They were delicate, mysterious, and very small – only a few centimeters across. They were formed from dust on car windshields. Looking at them closely, I saw abstract works of art created by natural forces with no intention of being seen. I called them "Dustscapes".

About Artist

Daniel Zeldes

After a break of more than fifty years I returned to one of my childhood hobbies - photography. I bought a good camera and went out to photograph. It turned out to be one of the best decisions I've ever made. Today I photograph a wide range of subjects, yet I am especially drawn to abstract patterns, particularly in the small-scale realm. It brings me great joy to discover a beautiful natural pattern in my vicinity. There are so many beautiful things around me. Every day I walk past them. They call out to me "Hey, look here, look at me!", but I just pass near them entangled in my thoughts. But then, once in a while I do see one and it feels like a small revelation.
