Blue Skies, Brown Earth, Green Leaves
“Blue Skies, Brown Earth, Green Leaves” layers a photo of rusted iron with one of a fading green wall. Chipped paint, reshaped into leaves, lets ruin suggest renewal. Surface becomes symbol, capturing the fragile, fleeting transformations that define both nature and memory.
