21ST CENTURY STILL LIFE

This series of flower and fruit still life visually resembles 17th century still-life painting, but once we look closer, we notice that the natural elements in the image are not real but actually made with a plastic tablecloth that has flower and fruit printed on it.

In the classical times a still-life painting existed to remind the living that they only had a limited time on this earth. In this work the notion of ephemeral is reversed by the plastic material; as we know, plastic can take hundreds of years to decompose. 

The series is a visual commentary on today's image driven consumerism and materialistic culture where the obsession for perfection make the fake often seem more ideal than the real.
