Epiphany | Painting​

2019
Epiphany is a moment of sudden or discovery that usually changes you in some way. This project is a response to a constant shift in contemporary perception of real and unreal both in physical or constructed landscapes. Vibrant color, harsh natural lighting, painted wood panel, and transparent /translucent architectural sample material installed to expose the astounding moment of mental realism. I want to question how urban architecture can have a phenomenological effect and to what extent the presence of a body in space can change our way of contemplating real and unreal. The scenography brings out the viewer’s curiosity, desiring to find out how the illusion of space was created.
