The Bus Window series reflects on impermanence and our paradoxical relationship with time. Time has simultaneously become a commodity and an all powerful entity within the human psyche. We exist in a constant paradoxical struggle against time, fighting to control the uncontrollable, believing we never have enough of something infinite, commodifying an abstract concept with no inherent value. I believe the human existence is defined by a fundamental state of impermanence. When we give up control and see the world in a constant state of change, we begin to experience the beauty we are surrounded by in every passing moment. For me, I look to capture this state of impermanence through momentary fragments of natural light. Although each piece in the Bus Window series was taken fractions of a second apart, they each capture a vastly different feeling and atmosphere. I believe it is this constantly changing atmospheric light that defines the feelings we associate with any given moment. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bus Window 5, 2019 Semi-Gloss Premium Archival Pigment Print 16 x 16 inches (41 x 41 cm) Edition of 10 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Kobiwalsh.com/bus-window --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Kobi's photographic work work focuses on highlighting the subjectivity of our perspective.

For me, all subjects exist as fluid, their surfaces ever-changing by way of variations in light, time, and perspective. Through my sculptural and photographic work, created entirely without digital manipulation, I aim to highlight the unique combinations of these factors that give life and soul to the surrounding atmosphere and to the present moment. At the core of my work I explore how these variables along with the differences in our subjective perspective define the unique feelings we associate with a subject. Beginning with the empirical and analytical observation of light, my pieces remove defining characteristics of commonplace subjects, attempting to disassociate their conventional identity. My work instead focuses on the unseen subject: a momentary subjective trigger of memory, emotion, and feeling produced by changes in light, time, and color. While appearing at first glance abstract, my works are meant in fact to be representational, but to represent a reality beyond immediate impressions; to create rather a fuller, and more authentic, visual experience of a subject. That experience transcends the visual, and therefore requires an approach that, while remaining representational and unmanipulated, through its alternative appearance challenges the viewer to move beyond socially constructed meanings of subject. My work is heavily influenced by nature: organic forms, the random cyclical movement of the elements, the constant progression of time and explores themes of impermanence, authenticity, deterioration and rebirth, and perceptions of banality. I draw inspiration in part from sculptural masters of light such as James Turrell and Olafur Elliason, as well as the impressionist movement – specifically from Monet, the plein air painting technique, and the enveloppe, the unifying atmospheric light encompassing all things.
