Virginia Mak

The Hidden Nature series is inspired by the Romantic Movement, in particular Caspar David Friedrich’s paintings. Mak looked for the sublime within the modern society and sought to construct a moment where an individual can be at one with nature and be looking into their soul. The photographs move through history—subtly shifting in costumes and tones.

Mak's soft-focus images blur the boundary between painting and photography. The artist's inkjet prints have a UV laminate; they are mounted to an archival substrate and framed in white.
