Disturbed Landscapes
This series questions the interactions between human-made artifacts and the natural environment. These human-made objects somehow interrupted the purity of the landscape. Mostly, they are abandoned or functionless. Landscape transformation does not need to be very obvious in visual terms but can be manifested through more or less subtile changes due to the human interventions or placements of the isolated structures and objects where natural and artificial elements interwine forming a new topographical identity of the landscape. Elements of the natural environment are still visually predominant which gives a feeling of a bit utopian wish of sustainable co-existence between natural and artificial. Even in such conditions, the identity of the man-made objects is not lost. Contrary, we can even more quickly visualize or associate the environment typical of the depicted objects than we can mentally remove them from the actually dominant landscape in the image. Or is it just the result of the photography intervention?
