Mital Patel - States of Nature (Nadine Barth)

The fragile balance of nature, captured through the lens of Mital Patel

Mital Patel s photographs move between ice and fire, polar seas, volcanic terrain, deserts and remote wilderness. Across these extremes, he reveals with this publication a world shaped by elemental forces and deep time, where beauty and fragility exist side by side.

This book brings together a wide-ranging body of work by Patel, shaped by years of photographing remote and often inaccessible places from Green land to South Africa. Moving between abstraction and representation, the images invite sustained looking rather than documentation. Sequenced with a poetic rhythm, the book reflects on scale, presence, and the quiet tension between permanence and change in the natural world.
