• Artist Statement

  This photograph illustrates the dichotomy between freedom and security through the use of the multiple exposure technique. The photograph was composed of several separate images which had been edited into a single frame; and these images include a mountain slope, a forrest landscape, a lake scene, and a cloud. Despite the fact that the pristine landscapes contained within the jars are shielded from external influence, they remain a pale imitation of nature in a free state, which is reflected by the escaping cloud. The cloud becomes increasingly solid as it exits its container, although the vibrance of the sky contained within the jar appears to fade into the grey background, revealing the consequences of freedom.
