The four works presented here are part of an ongoing series that explores African landscapes. Each work is composed of a satellite image and macro photographs of human skin and/or irises. The landscapes are from various regions of the continent. The skins and irises belong to individuals from across the racial spectrum who are connected to Africa in different ways.
The landscapes invite us to reflect on representations of Africa. The omission of country names challenges the acceptance and status of fabricated borders. The bodies, which are neither named nor described, encourage us to examine how we respond to diversity. The blurring of boundaries between human and nonhuman invites us to relate to each other and to the world in other ways, ways that are more fluid, organic, entwined.
