This piece has a history. The original photo was taken by me most likely in 2004, in Iran. We were in the middle of a long road trip (or at least it felt that way to 8 year old me), and we stopped on the side of the road just to take this picture. It has always been an intense view that has stuck with me through the years. In college I decided to use the photo as a reference for my senior project. It ended up being a 4’7”x6’3” charcoal piece that was displayed in conjunction with “On the day the world ends.” I wanted to portray the murky and polluted view in the same way as the sun’s rays behind the beautiful clouds in the background. This was created during a phase where I was purely focused on the interactions between light and shadow, without the distractions of color. The names of both these pieces come from “A Song on the End of the World,” a poem by Czeslaw Milosz.
