eight apple trees. This painter just can’t

The Ground is Mine the Sky is Yours

Dark-grey rock faces and Molotov cocktails that burn and disappear without leaving any noticeable traces. The sound made by their sudden appearance interrupts the twittering of the birds, making space for it after the flames have died down.

Removed from the moment and reality, the images, revolve around different temporalities and photography itself.
