This fall I traveled to Costa Rica
for one month. This installation is contains objects and images
that reflect my perception of the country from the urban areas
of San Jose to the rainforest and beaches. The majority of my
time was spent in the Pacific costal area known as the Nicoya
Peninsula.
I chose to focus on specific details of the landscape.
Similar to the way our western eye, under the guise of science,
usually examines the micro details rather that looks at the larger
interconnected organism. I've gathered small artifacts from the
beach, tracked the rainfall, photographed the colors and textures
and recorded the sounds of the area. By recombining these samples
I hope to create a new landscape, one that resembles elements
of Costa Rica, but is created by the viewers experience.
