My Old Mountain Home
~~~~~~
A 1930s stone house, glamping of sorts in the mountains above the glowing city lights. I perched my camera on a tripod, opened the shutter for 140 seconds, and then walked around lighting the stone structure with a handheld light.

We actually do have Spring in the desert. Desert native Palo Verde trees have green trunks and branches, with feathery leaves. This time of year they're covered with tiny yellow flowers. There is a grove of them on our community's exit drive, making a bright yellow understory for the palms.

For detail, the
2nd photo is a baby Palo Verde in our front yard.

As an artist, inventor, and economist, she investigates the aesthetic and creative potential within science and technology, driven by humanity’s fascination with optics and perception.

Her immersive installation showcases “caustics,” light patterns formed by the refraction or reflection of light through curved surfaces. While this optical effect often occurs naturally, such as at the bottom of a swimming pool, Meyohas transforms it, using innovative light-shaping technology enabling visitors to project sunlight onto a ribbon-like structure cascading across the desert floor.

What Remains by Muhannad Shono 2, Desert X 2025, Coachella Valley, California

Muhannad Shono is known for his innovative exploration of identity, memory, and cultural heritage. His large-scale installations transform common elements such as plastic pipe, string, or sand into intricate systems. Drawing inspiration from the complexities of his upbringing in the Arabian Peninsula, Shono combines traditional techniques with modern forms to address themes of displacement, transformation, and the intersection of past and present.
