The two works in Reflection form part of an ongoing project that explores the landscape as a representation within the urban environment. A window installation featuring a pine window frame and a digitally printed image on glass creates a layered reflection of our surroundings, where illusion and fiction converge. By combining the concrete structure and tactile surface of the window with a photographic motif, I aim to investigate how architectural boundaries can be shifted, and how spatial environments are reinterpreted when transposed into an exhibition setting. What happens to our perception of landscape when it is removed from its original context? What remains visible, and what is preserved in this act of displacement?

The reflected image becomes more than a picture, it acts as a visual threshold between the city and the imagined landscape. As viewers, we find ourselves positioned between interior and exterior, reality and simulation. The work draws attention to how we frame and consume nature within the city, often through mediated, curated, or staged encounters. Here, nature enters the gallery or home not as wilderness, but as aesthetic surface—flattened, controlled, and made safe. At the same time, the reflection in the glass reintroduces the surrounding space, creating a tension between the real and the represented. This layered visual field becomes a reminder of the fictions we construct—both inside and outside our homes to make sense of the world around us. Reflection invites viewers to consider the boundaries between nature and the built environment, and to reflect on how landscape continues to function as both memory and mirror within urban life.
