In July 2025, a volcano in Iceland erupted rivers of hot rock into the world in the form of short-lived images that evoked animals, objects, and abstract ideas until the images dissolved back into flames. These images represent the synergy of natural entropy and artistic creativity. There is no limit to what the lava shows, and therefore, there is no limit to what the viewer can see.

Nicholas Dunn began photographing at age ten, inspired by his father and grandmother. From the Kansas plains to landscapes abroad, he developed a style rooted in abstraction, where nature reads like drawing or design. By eighteen, his work earned international recognition, including multiple honors at the International Photography Awards with a second place in Architecture/Historic. Through fire, water, ice, and land, Nicholas seeks to reveal the patterns and fleeting visions etched by the earth itself.
