LEYLA MANDEL

SYNTHETIC LANDSCAPES, WATERTOWN, 2022
The idea of the ‘landscape’ is no longer idyllic forests or fields of flowers but has instead been replaced by sprawling man-made concrete buildings in an industrial setting. It seems that present day nature is best experienced and easily accessible through Google Images rather than the outside world. By imposing images of superficial nature in the same space as an urban landscape, my project explores what the natural environment has evolved to look like in the face of current day man-made environmental degradation.
