Sentinel of Silence
The softened water contrasts with the rugged texture of the stone, while the natural arch suggests resilience shaped by time and tide. The minimalist composition and expansive negative space emphasize solitude, permanence, and the quiet power of coastal erosion.

About Artist
Gordy J Mackay
Based in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, I began my photography joyrney in 2021 and work primarily in architectural, seascape and fine art black-and-white photography. Much of my work is shaped by the Scottish coastline, with a particular focus on Aberdeenshire, where changing light, weather and form play a central role. Architectural subjects are explored wherever location allows, drawing attention to structure, geometry and contrast across a range of built environments
