The Meditator: Silence in the Canyon is an evocative framed photographic print by Jaime Dormer, capturing the vastness and solitude of the Grand Canyon in Arizona, USA. Part of Dormer’s exclusive exhibition collection, this piece offers a profound perspective on the interplay between humanity and nature within one of the world’s most renowned geological wonders.

The Grand Canyon, carved by the Colorado River, stretches 277 miles in length, spans up to 18 miles in width, and plunges over a mile deep in some areas. It is a place of overwhelming size and visual splendour, showcasing a complex and vibrant landscape.

The canyon’s thick sequence of ancient rock formations, preserved and exposed within its walls, makes it a geological marvel of global significance. For thousands of years, Native American communities have called this area home, building settlements within the canyon and inhabiting its many caves.

While capturing the immense landscape, Dormer noticed a lone figure perched high upon a canyon ledge, sitting calmly with the epic views stretching out before them.

Dormer describes the scene: 

“While photographing the immense landscape, I became aware of the tiny figure perched high up upon the canyon wall, sitting serenely taking in the epic views, apparently undaunted by the sheer plunging drop before them. Obviously, at one with nature, they add not only a sense of scale to the image but seem to glaringly point out just how inconsequential man is in the grand scheme of our mighty planet.”

The solitary figure, dwarfed by the monumental canyon, brings a sense of scale and introspection to the image, inviting viewers to contemplate their connection to nature.

Framing the Image

Frame Details:
The photograph is presented in an elegant, contemporary frame designed to elevate and preserve the artwork. It is encased in a prestige white Majorca moulding, complemented by clarity UV70 glass to ensure protection against light exposure. The use of double acid-free white matting, accented by a Dawsons hand-made dark oaka linen and a silver fillet, provides a refined contrast that enhances the photograph’s vivid colors and depth.

The image is printed on Hahnemühle Photo Rag 308gsm, a museum-quality 100% cotton paper that brings out the photograph's rich tones and details. To protect and maintain the integrity of the print, three coatings of Hahnemühle protective surface spray have been meticulously applied in a crosshatch pattern.
