The Rock with Wings

New Mexico

About

"The Rock with Wings" captures the majestic Ship Rock, located in New Mexico. Known to the Navajo as Tsé Bitʼaʼí, Ship Rock is a sacred monadnock that rises nearly 1,600 feet above the high-desert plain. There's an interesting legend behind this ancient volcanic formation. In Navajo culture, the site is revered and it is said to be the remains of a great bird that carried their ancestors to safety. I took this photo in December of 2019 - during my first trip to New Mexico. I can still recall the sense of wonder I had looking at this thing. The structure can't be missed - it juts out apparently from nowhere, with its towering spires and rugged formations resembling the wings of a great bird. "The Rock With Wings" is meant to evoke the mystical essence of this landmark and the timeless legend it carries.

Made to Order

This is not a mass-produced poster. Every print is individually crafted to order by WhiteWall — produced one at a time with the same precision and care given to works displayed in galleries and private collections worldwide. Because each piece is made specifically for you, please allow approximately 2–6 weeks for production and delivery.

Every print is produced using museum-grade methods — the same techniques used by galleries selling fine art photography for $5,000 and above. These are not inkjet reproductions. Each piece is crafted using archival processes that deliver unmatched depth, luminosity, and permanence.

Fine Art Under Acrylic Glass

Your photograph is printed on Fuji Crystal Archive DPII paper, then face-mounted to 0.16” optical-grade acrylic glass using an archival adhesive process. The result is extraordinary — colors appear to glow from within, with a depth and luminosity impossible to achieve with traditional framing. Finished with an aluminum Dibond backing for structural rigidity. UV-resistant. Ready to hang.
