This installation confronts perspectives of nature and the built environment, marrying the two realities. It speaks to the distortion experienced commuting from mountainscapes to cityscapes, where the change from landscape to architecture and from topography to iconography feels like a journey through shifting scales and times. By borrowing fragments from different landscapes, these sculptures dismiss the grandiosity of fixed formations. The individual pieces are staged in tangible proximity, and together, these new formations question how memories oscillate between spaces and sensorial perspectives.
