Supermarket Landscape

The photographs which make up the Supermarket Landscape are non-other than the snow banks which can be found in our shipping mall parking lots every winter. At first glance, these snowdrifts look more like the landscapes from some far off planet or an idyllic landscape of which we dream of seeing after a several days walk in the wilderness. The spectator will be captivated not only by what they see but by what they cannot. As ambiguous as the said “natural” landscapes which modern society still looking to give us, but are in reality defined and artificial, the ones which I propose allow your mind to escape and explore as I did during my search to glorify these accumulations. The circular form also suggests the discovery of new landscapes as its shape can suggest looking through a telescope, like those used by the explorers both past and present.
