THE FALKLAND CURRENT

This collection was inspired by desert colors but was photographed in Belgium, far away from the Patagonian Steppe and the Falkland Current.

The names were inspired by desert regions from around the world.

“The Patagonian Desert, also known as the Patagonian Steppe, is the largest of the 40° parallel and is a large cold winter desert, where the temperature rarely exceeds 12 °C and averages just 3 °C. The region experiences about seven months of winter and five months of summer. Frost is not uncommon in the desert but, due to the very dry condition year-round, snow is rare. The Andes, to the desert's west, are the primary reason for the Patagonian Desert status as they inhibit the westerly flow of moisture from the southern Pacific from reaching inland. This creates a rain shadow that accounts for the formation of the desert and is why, despite approximately half of the desert being only about 200 miles from the ocean, such a large desert is found in the region.[4] The cold Falkland Current off the Atlantic coast of South America also contributes to the area's aridity.”
