propensity for annihilation

It did not come in fire or thunder. It came quietly, drawn by something older than language — a propensity for annihilation written into its nature. What it found upon arrival was a world already on edge. A world that needed very little help.

About Artist

Hakim Kabbaj

Covering subjects such as landscapes, city scenes, and abstract portraiture, Hakim has a dark and emotion-evoking style that broadly isolates subjects against a minimalist backdrop. His work often combines bold contrast, rich colors and lifted shadows pushed towards the blue spectrum, which give the photos a theme that is both distinct and futuristic in its nature.
