‘Tafelberg and Beyond: Curaçao’ is a photography book by photographer Sinaya Wolfert that explores the transformation of Curaçao’s iconic Tafelberg (Table Mountain). Through stunning visuals and insightful storytelling, the book captures the effects of mining activities on the landscape and the local community.

The book blends photography with historical context, encouraging readers to reflect on the relationship between nature, industry, and heritage. With its artistic and documentary approach, ‘Tafelberg and Beyond’ provides a thought-provoking perspective on a lesser-known aspect of Curaçao’s history.
