Estuary 2021 is the second edition of the large-scale arts festival that celebrates the lives, landscapes and histories of the spectacular Thames Estuary.

For Estuary 2021 Nadav Kander has created In The End Is The Beginning. Towards The Thames Estuary, an outdoor installation comprising of a triptych from his ongoing series Dark Line - The Thames Estuary, a personal reflection on the landscape of the River Thames at its point of connection with the sea through atmospheric images of its slow-moving dark waters and seemingly infinite horizons.

Of the elemental forces upon earth, slow moving expanses of dark water have the strongest effect on me. I’m drawn to the grace, the power, and its ability to conceal what is unknown.  More importantly to me, this work implies a passage of time, in contrast to our own. The life of the River Thames; flowing before, then into my frame and forever beyond.  I’m drawn to making work that bears witness to the river and to time. Yet the photograph is static, while referring to the world and nature beyond its edges. It conjures images of destiny; it invokes the past and points to the future. - Nadav Kander
