Earth Painting 2024 -
The series involves projecting an aerial photograph of a specific location onto a canvas, then overlaying it with pigments made from the soil and rocks collected from that place, attempting to depict the essence of what that location represents. This series is an attempt to simultaneously express the elements and textures of the nature beneath our feet, combined with photographs taken from far above.
特定の場所の航空写真を投影したキャンバスに、その場所で採れた土や岩の顔料で上塗りしながら、そこがどのような場所であるかを描き出そうとする。はるか上空から撮影された写真と足もとの自然の要素や感触を重ね合わせて、それらを同時に表現しようとする試み。
