Cheraine Collette
Legacy (Series)
DESCRIPTION
How will nature find its way with man-made mountains?
The many mountains made by mankind, are as diverse as natures climates.
Jungles of tubes and bushes of sharp metal.
Mimicking a lava landscape with a haphazard collection of objects.
Will this be our legacy?
Is nature to overcome the toxic rivers that seep from these peaks into rivers and will it cradle live?
Will mankind witness nature conquer these mountains, as mankind has conquered hers, and becoming one again, making these mountains places of beauty, and erasing this legacy?
- The landscapes, and animals(in their natural habitat from a safe distance) are photographed separately and form the elements for each composition. The photographs are united by digital manipulation, usually by many hours/days of hand-drawn digital/painting.
