"Tibet Yamdrok Lake" is a serene depiction of one of Tibet's three holy lakes. Safer's print highlights the vast, tranquil expanse of water, a mirror reflecting the soul of the sky. The composition leads the viewer's eye along the winding road to the solitary building, a human presence that is dwarfed by the grandeur of the surrounding nature, emphasizing the sacredness and isolation of the location.

The "Salt Flats of Bolivia" print is a stark, mesmerizing landscape that stretches to infinity, the crystalline surface of the salt flats leading to the distant mountains veiled in clouds. The minimalism in this composition is powerful, conveying the vastness and the ethereal quality of the Salar de Uyuni. The blue of the sky against the white of the salt creates a peaceful yet otherworldly scene.
Karen Safer's 2023 collection is a testament to the awe-inspiring beauty of our world, each giclée print a window to a place both distant and intimately familiar.
