The Wave
The Float
The Essence of the Dunes is a unique interpretation of a unique Mojave National Preserve landscape treasure . Amir may be an emerging growth artist , but this early work continues to cut to the heart of the ordinary landscape while probing at the tangible dimensions , like some concrete explorer . This may be emerging work , but it is emerging gold as well .
