Eternal Landscape

STATEMENT:

"Eternal Landscape" revolves around mourning the death of my good friend and mentor, who used to live in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Inspired by sun-filled, colorful photographs from my visits to Santa Fe, I construct dream-like New Mexico landscapes where I imagine my mentor and I would meet again.
