THE ARTWORK
"Kitayamazaki" is a photo by Ben O'Hara taken at the Kitayamazaki Cliffs in Kitayama, Iwate, Japan on March 9th, 2020. It depicts small Japanese cedars clinging to the cliffs, silhouetted against the thick morning fog.
The Kitayamazaki Cliffs are a breathtaking sight on Japan's Sanriku Coast, renowned for their dramatic rock formations, lush greenery, and diverse wildlife. Stretching eight kilometers, these dramatic cliffs tower up to 200 meters above the Pacific Ocean, sculpted by volcanic activity millions of years ago. They offer a stunning panoramic view of the rugged coastline and crashing waves below.
