Fuga Modus

Conceived at a time when travelling was not an option the Fuga Modus Collection (Flight Mode), is a body of work that recalls the moment we switch our mobile phones on flight mode once the aeorplane takes off; the urge to flee away from a reality that betrays our expectations from life; the need for nature when the city becomes claustrophobic. Nature rises triumphant in spaces void of human presence; an absence that is rendered questionable by the presence of the artist as a silent onlooker. The raw manipulation of paper and the limited palette are enriched by hints of burnt umbers, ochres, and greys that merge into an orchestration of velvety blacks and the intact underlying paper. https://joycamilleri.wordpress.com/2021/08/19/fuga-modus/
