"Pastoral" is a vibrant photo series that captures the essence of nature through an Impressionist lens. The more the future of humanity looks unstable and bleak, the more we turn to nature for hope and inspiration. When everything else fails, nature remains one of the last hopes for romantics, symbolizing the possibility of a brighter future. The Impressionist look of the photos underscores this romantic outlook, imbuing nature with a nearly magical quality reminiscent of a child's view of the world. Taken on the outskirts of Lausanne, a city in Switzerland, each image brims with color and light, evoking the timeless beauty of nature akin to the masterpieces of Monet and Van Gogh. The series blends the delicate, dreamy quality of Monet's landscapes with the bold, expressive brushstrokes of Van Gogh, offering a modern homage to these iconic artists."
