Tender is the Earth

Tender Is the Earth was photographed in Mallorca, where land, light and time meet in quiet harmony. Among these landscapes, the agate geodes of Karolin Van Loon echo the island’s natural poetry, ancient stones that open to reveal galaxies of colour and crystal. Formed over millions of years, each geode carries its own universe within, just as every image holds a moment shaped by earth, light and breath.

Together, the photographs and jewels reveal the same truth: beneath the surface of the ordinary lies a fragile, unexpected beauty, unique, timeless and tender.
