"Fireworks" is the fifth and last piece of Johan Lolos' genesis NFT series "Hálendið". Hálendið, which means "Highlands" in Icelandic, is a photography series of 5 pieces that are a tribute to the painting-like landscapes of the Icelandic Highlands. Ever since Johan first visited this part of the world he has been amazed by the huge diversity of colors that can be found in the Highlands. The unparalleled contrasts and shapes of the Hálendið make this region of Iceland so unique in the whole world, to the point it becomes almost surreal to any visitor.
This particular piece is an aerial image of Landmannalaugar, shot from a Cessna aircraft in June 2017, as part of Johan's Peaks of Europe photography project. It is a celebration of the multi-million colored landscape of the Icelandic highlands, as well as the apotheosis of this genesis collection. The grand finale with colorful fireworks to end the collection, and an image that loops back to the Genesis piece: "Explosion of Colors". Indeed, this shot was taken in the same area as the genesis piece, but shows a very different angle.
With this collection, Johan's goal was to confuse the viewer when first looking at the image. In the first seconds, most people won’t understand what they’re looking at, until they realize this is just the beauty of Mother Nature.
** As with all the pieces from the Hálendið collection, all collectors will have exclusive early access to future drops. They’re also eligible to receive the 1st limited edition out of 7 of a signed and framed physical print of the image they collected. They also can choose for Johan to keep it forever as an archive to increase the scarcity of his work, or to donate it to any organization of their choice or to someone from the NFT community.
