“Artificial Nature”

“Artificial Nature” is an oxymoron that calls stark contradiction of the outside works into mind. In such a world, the most beautiful things are ugly, the most natural things are artificial, and the most real things are abstractions. Using colors and photographs in this series, I have tried to generate images on the border of real and artificial, and real and abstract, to depict contradictions in the visual world.
