Dazzle

A front-facing Grevey zebra stands alert in pale grass while the rest of the herd grazes behind it, their striped bodies unfolding in a gentle arc across the Kenyan savannah. Rendered in black and white, the work leans on the striking graphic rhythm of the animal’s coat against a soft, hazy backdrop of distant trees and low hills. The composition gives the central figure a quiet authority, with ample open sky and muted terrain heightening the sense of stillness and watchfulness. (A group of zebra is called a dazzle.)
