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.

Sam Rittenberg

Sam Rittenberg lives and works in New York City and the Dominican Republic. His primary interest is in a photograph's power to convey the infinite and paradoxical nature of being. He is guided by the idea that every picture has the potential to be a portal to that which is ordinarily beyond us. He has earned 61 selections across 13 juried international competitions, including the Annual Photography Awards, Budapest International Photo Awards, Chromatic Awards, Fine Art Photography Awards, International Photo Awards, Neutral Density Awards, Prix de la Photographie Paris, Refocus Awards – World Photo Annual, Refocus Awards – Color Photography, and the Tokyo International Foto Awards.
