Alex Wang, At the Edge of Night (SINGLE SHOT 2026)

A solitary spotted shag stands along the South Island shoreline at dusk. The fading light softens the landscape into layers of distance, where sea, land, and mountain dissolve into one another. Rather than isolating the subject, the image holds space for its habitat — a quiet presence within an expansive environment.
