Landscape in Two States presents a dual investigation into how territory is perceived, experienced, and constructed across physical and virtual realms. Moving from small-format plein air observation and material error (Road to the Clouds) to virtual reality environments reflecting ancestral memory (Echoes of the Forest) and dynamic, changing nature (Floral Impressions with Alice), this section examines the shift between natural landscapes, digital mediation, and synthetic memory.

1. Road to the Clouds (2024)
Acrylic on small format paper, VR painting, and Blender 3D animation.
Road to the Clouds explores the physical and digital gestures of landscape painting. The series contrasts traditional plein air practice—characterized by small-format paper, immediacy, and material error—with digital creation mediated by screens. Rather than replicating nature directly in the virtual realm, the digital palette is constructed from internet imagery, raising questions about how tools, surfaces, and spaces define our contemporary experience of territory.
