The work originates from a photograph I took of a sunset landscape from the fifteenth floor of a building. The image was carried through multiple mediations—first through color processing and Xerox printing, then re-photographed as a still image, recolored, and finally inverted. By reversing sky and ground, I created an entirely different sense of place.
What began as a standard view of a neighborhood at dusk now appears as though seen from above, perhaps from space, capturing the curvature of the earth and the void around it. Houses turn into floating bodies, almost satellites, and the light transforms into an artificial glow, as if emanating from a screen or an unnatural source.
Through these manipulations I sought to produce a visual experience of disorientation and loss of ground. By altering the laws of gravity within the image, I ask what happens when the stability of place collapses, demonstrating how our entire perception of landscape can shift through deceptively simple interventions.
