This series of large format prints offers an intricate exploration of duration, conceptualized as both a continuum and an arrested moment. By setting the works against stark and desolate backdrops—an extinct mining town, an unmarked coastline, a vacant forest, and an uninhabited desert—the series evokes a palpable sense of transience and abandonment.
In these landscapes, the artist superimposes ghostly figures that serve as ephemeral symbols of human existence. These spectral presences function as a poignant reminder of our temporal nature within the grand scheme of geological time. With the understanding that there are millions of unknown years yet to unfold, the series prompts viewers to reflect on our fleeting presence in the world and the mysteries of what lies beyond our time.
By juxtaposing the emptiness of the landscapes with the transient human figures, the series engages with complex questions about the human condition. It challenges us to consider our role during our brief existence, the impact we may have on the environment and those around us, and the legacy we will leave behind. Moreover, it underscores the paradox of duration itself, as it attempts to capture and freeze time within a visual medium, thus transforming the ongoing flow of existence into a still and observable form.
The artistic investigation of time in these works also raises philosophical inquiries into the nature of duration and its relation to human consciousness. It probes the tension between the ephemeral and the eternal, between the measurable and the immeasurable, and between presence and absence. In doing so, the series not only offers a visually compelling representation but also invites contemplation on the profound themes of existence, temporality, and our place within the universe.
