The
Palau Collection by Erik Reichenbach
In 2007 I created a group of images in response to my time on the
Islands of Micronesia inspired by CBS's television show Survivor
and William Golding's Lord of
the Flies.
Each image represents an experience taken from the extraordinary
adventure that I was able to find in the tropical islands of Palau,
Yap, and Guam. Some reflect complex beauty, some reflect deceit and
turmoil, but together they bring together a complex story of life and
survival in an untamed landscape far from home. Whether you are a fan
of reality television, a seasoned traveler, or just looking for some
worldly art for your living room, Erik Reichenbach's Palau Collection
is sure to bring a little bit of the adventure home to you!
