Reconfigured Landscape

Individual project | Art | 2019 - Present
Swept, 2021


From late 2019 to early 2020, Australia suffered severe, devastating wildfires. Millions of hectares were burnt. Thousands of homes were destroyed. At the time, I was on a road trip with friends in a regional area of Victoria. It was the very first time in my life so close to a natural disaster, witnessing the smoky mountains, burning sky. I realized that how fragile human beings could be confronting the great natural power.

This unusual experience prompted me to consider our relationship with nature and make this project Reconfigured Landscape. I envisioned and fabricated apocalyptic landscapes that our living environments could evolve, through introducing and heightening the visual disruptions to photographic landscapes.
