Texture Map

Nature Abstract, 2020. Pigment print.

Texture Map delves into expansive digital spaces, exploring the possibilities inherent in openly available resources. Crafted with Google Earth, the images guide the observer to otherwise inaccessible locations. In the urban hustle, nature becomes somewhat abstract for the modern person, contributing to a collective forgetfulness of its essence.

Thanks to satellite scanning and the internet, with a mere click of the mouse, one can traverse vast expanses of the Earth and zoom into locations that might be misconstrued as a petri dish, wood pattern, or leather texture. This abstraction of nature, available exclusively through aerial perspective and technological advancement, emphasizes our relationship to nature and the interplay between the remote and the immediately accessible.
