Isolated Retreat. Lobuche, Nepal. /20

Pictured is the remote village of Lobuche, a stop along the trek to Mount Everest. Framed through the windowpanes of a teahouse, the neighboring buildings cling to the rugged hillside. The monochromatic tones emphasize the stark, unforgiving environment while evoking a sense of solitude at this extreme altitude. The Architecture collection acknowledges the soul and character of locations displayed through the work of the people that live there, namely through their architectural creations. Architecture tells stories of utility and necessity, as well as frivolity, excess, spoils, and ultimately success, leading to the creation of the gorgeous, weird, intricate, unnecessary, essential or ornate. Limited Edition Artwork, numbered out of 20 total produced. Dated and signed by the photographic artist, Matt Hagen, and includes the description and a note of authenticity with the Artwork. *Sizes and materials outside of standard selections can be arranged.
