Petar Iliev [Presence] [Light Studies]

Presence

In northeastern Pennsylvania in the height of summer, one of the most powerful forces in the landscape is nearly invisible. The deer tick has the potential to inflict incurable illness, and yet is nearly invisible to the naked eye. There is incredible power in the invisible, and a dangerous beauty to the most tiny elements of the landscape.

Light Studies

The landscape changes at night. First fireflies appear, then stars and the moon. The watery, reflected light obscures the land we think we know, and reveals other qualities. Senses are heightened, tuned to the rustle of meadows, the smell of sun-baked seed heads. Darkness and illumination walk hand in hand.
