Artist Daniel Kukla substitutes mirrors for canvases to create dynamic desert images you’d swear were paintings. The photographs were captured in Joshua Tree National Park, where the Mojave and Sonoran Deserts meet. Kukla states:

“While hiking and driving, I caught glimpses of the border space created by the meeting of distinct ecosystems in juxtaposition, referred to as the Edge Effect in the ecological sciences. To document this unique confluence of terrains, I hiked out a large mirror and painter’s easel into the wilderness and captured opposing elements within the environment.”
