DESCRIPTION
Sidescape is a project in which I collect online news photographs, select a portion of the image, and recreate it as a painting. Although it is difficult to tell exactly where and what happened from a screen alone, these pieces, which are based on press photo excerpts, allow for imaginative speculation and interpretation of the incident.
Water, fire, smoke, and other elements that occur frequently in my art are natural phenomena that are beyond human control. Seeing the omnipotence of nature improves environmental awareness while also inspiring amazement and beauty. It's a terrible calamity for humans, yet I'm moved by the awe and veneration of the vast environment that humans can't control.
