Driven by a quest to capture a landscape reduced to flatness and sky, Viola travels to Chott El-Djerid.

Through powerful telephoto lenses, shimmering mirages and warped forms emerge under extreme heat and light. These visuals evoke a space where dream and waking reality merge. Viola’s journey transcends documentation, transforming viewing into a reflective exploration of the limits of perception.
