In her photographic practice, Alana Celii explores how landscapes are layered with memory and can double as metaphors for personal history. Celii’s Paradise Falling project captures the grandeur of wide ranging landscapes, alongside intimate portraits and vibrant still lifes, paired with vignettes of writing ruminating on loss. Published in 2020, Paradise Falling is "a photo album of my last decade—my travels, my desires, my failures,” as Celii notes.
In this charged image from Celii's Paradise Falling series, the eruption of a geyser is suspended in time.
