The window facing the road by the lake (2023)

Archival Pigment Print with walnut frame

This work is part of a photographic series in which I explore various natural environments through the lens of modern technology. I set out to map the landscape’s topography and transform these surveyed terrains into visual worlds—revealing broader geographical areas where the landscape itself becomes the subject, absent of a traditional horizon line. These views reference our inherent curiosity to look out toward nature through “windows,” a perspective that has historically helped us understand our position in the world, while also familiarizing us with the resources and conditions that lie beyond our immediate surroundings.

​

To realize this concept, I worked with drones to photograph the landscape using digital imaging techniques that reconstruct short-wave infrared (IR) radiation. Infrared technology is commonly used in night vision equipment, such as image intensifiers and thermal imaging cameras, especially when visible light is insufficient. In this process, the natural green tones of the landscape are transformed into vivid reds, while lifeless or inorganic areas are rendered white.Today, this imaging method is often applied in modern agriculture to clearly monitor large areas and assess vegetation health. By using infrared color rendering, we can “read” the condition of plant life more accurately—making it easier to track crop vitality and environmental change.
