the sublime, after all
2023 - ongoing
mixed medium
‘The sublime is not an ontology but a phenomenology, not a special essence of certain things but rather an experience of a particular kind, born out of the encounter between consciousness and the world.’[1]
This is an ongoing series which explores the profound and awe-inspiring moments experienced through the encounter between consciousness and seascapes.
