In New Mexico, in its northern most high desert, there exists a cave that has been home to a man who has poured himself into solitary life. He’s had only the companionship of his dog while he set to work building his cave.

When asked if he is obsessed with digging the cave, he replies: “Is a child obsessed with play?” He says if you love what you do, you’re always driven to do it.

His magical cave is intimate and yet overwhelming. Ra, the cave digger, doesn’t see himself as any kind of an artist, just a man expressing his passion in a way that inspires awe.
