Sacred Trees II is a series of light painting photographs of ancient trees. Each image was taken after sunset or under moonlight, with exposures of five to twenty minutes. During each exposure the trees were painted with several flashlights fitted with colour gels. The finished works are presented as prints measuring 24 by 30 inches, with colours and forms arranged carefully within each frame. The series reflects an old Japanese belief that trees, rocks and water are resting places of gods, and it seeks to show the spiritual presence of nature.
These images represent details of sections of trees felled to be transformed into something else. The use of negative inversion and direct printing on aluminum enhance the colors and the concept of destruction of our planet. The artist is inspired by artistic photography and environmental rights, transforming details of nature and flora: photographic technique and rights merge into surreal images to lead the viewer to reflect on what can be done to safeguard the planet. A better world is possible, it also depends on you.
