Landscape 1
Acrylic on canvas
ARTIST NOTE
This work speaks the quiet language of landscapes, emerging from the stillness observed during the pandemic, when once-overlooked spaces revealed their emptiness and depth. It explores how landscapes hold memory, not merely as visual records but as repositories of collective and personal histories. The works evoke a time when nature existed untouched, inviting viewers to revisit their own memories through these contemplative spaces. In the face of rapid development, deforestation, and the loss of rice fields to barren land, the series stands as both remembrance and warning, preserving the fragile beauty of landscapes on the verge of disappearance.
