Art in Search of the Sublime
Art in Search of the Sublime
“I pursue the sublime by seeking nature's light. My art is complete when it literally breathes. Its purpose is to ask the existential question - “what is the meaning of life” - searching for a deeper understanding of who we are and how we feel and encouraging reflection on what it means to be human.”
