The “Arc of Life” is the second stop on our Journey through Gab’s Genesis series “Virtual Voyage”
We all reach a point along the course of our journey where we must stop and take a moment to reflect. Reflect on where we’ve been and what we’ve discovered and appreciate all the beauty and endless possibilities that life has to offer through the doors of the future.
“I remember arriving at this site at the end of an extremely long day of travel through the dry Al Ula desert. As I approached, I remember panicking as I saw the light quickly disappearing in front of me. The sun soon began to peak and flare through the 170 ft tall natural archway, towering over me, projecting an endless throw of light and shadow along the golden desert sand that law below. Witnessing this glimmer in time that only lasted for about 60 seconds felt like I had reached the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. I was in complete awe. It was a reminder to take a step back and be more present in the moment. To pause and reflect on where I was and where I was headed. It was an incredibly humbling and peaceful moment of reflection which I wanted to encapsulate and share through this image.
Arc of Life was captured in 2018 at the natural phenomenon commonly referred to as “Elephant Rock” is the result of thousands of years of intense wind and water erosion and stands 170 ft tall. Gab was one of the first people to be granted special permission to shoot the UNESCO site, marking history to create the first aerial image of this kind in the region.
