Pocket Landscapes

Pocket Landscapes

This series explores how our experience of landscape has been transformed by the scale of digital devices. Each drawing occupies an area comparable to the display of a mobile phone, while the surrounding sheet of cotton paper remains almost entirely untouched.

The contrast between the monumental support and the intimate image is central to the work. The landscape no longer surrounds us; it appears as a fragment—something remembered, encountered through a screen, or briefly held in our hands.

Graphite and watercolor lend these places a quiet, fragile presence. Rather than describing specific locations, the drawings evoke moments of attention suspended between observation and memory. The expansive white field is not empty space but an active element that suggests silence, distance, and contemplation.

To experience these works, viewers must move physically toward them. What first appears to be a blank sheet slowly reveals an image, transforming the act of looking into one of discovery. This deliberate slowness stands in contrast to the speed with which landscapes are now consumed, shared, and forgotten through digital media.

Pocket Landscapes invites a reconsideration of scale; not only the scale of the image, but the scale of our relationship with nature and with the act of seeing itself.
