Artist Statement:
Disconnection between human
beings and nature is a
predominant theme in my
Speedscapes series. For most
urbanites, nature is an
abstract image in the backs of
their minds and interaction
with nature amounts to a
scenic view from a speeding
car. The escalating cost of
living demands a hectic
lifestyle in order to either
make ends meet or to maintain
the standard of living one is
used to. Urban migration is
growing and since the majority
of the world's population now
lives in urban centres, nature
is being left behind and
forgotten.
The images depicted in my
Speedscapes are either vague
memories, sites unseen, or
places abandoned.
Simultaneous notions of speed
and tranquility are used to
make salient a dilemma of
contemporary life. There are
no signs of human existence in
the Speedscapes for they are
meant to portray either a
missed opportunity or a time
in the distant future... long
after we are gone.
