_{"Fata Morgana"
emerged from an artistic residency in Banff National Park. The term "fata
Morgana" is used to describe those mirages that can be seen in the sky, an
image that reflects a landscape onto a puddle on the horizon, exploring the
construction and representation of a landscape, with a mountain peak as its
central element, framed by pine trees and the sky above the water's surface.
The photograph captures the reflection of a puddle on the ground, projecting
what lies above onto the horizon, creating an image presented in a somewhat
vertical manner. The work represents the meeting of heaven and earth, high and
low, exploring the relationship between what is deliberately represented and
constructed and what is spontaneously reflected, evoking a mirage on a puddled
road or a fata Morgana in the sky, creating an intriguing fusion of reality and
illusion.}
