Earth Day,” Emnace remarked, “I dedicated
it to us and our dying planet.” Assuming
a contemplative position as the subject in
“Nature Lover”, Emnace harmonizes our
appreciation for the earth with our concern
for the planet’s problematic direction. “I’m
worried about the future. What will it be like
in 2020?” he asks solemnly.
“The Real Us” explores the split-self,
capturing our duplicitous nature that
converges to form the version of self that
society recognizes. Using blurring effects,
contrasting light and textures reminiscent
of a stained canvas, “The Real Us” is at
once relatable and foreign, much like our
sense of self.
“My art symbolizes the challenges I’m
facing. Each image reminds me of what I
was feeling in the exact moment the image
was taken.” For Emnace, each piece is a time
stamp, preserving his momentary emotional
experience; however, he encourages each of
his viewers to claim unique interpretations
from his art.
In the future, Emnace plans to bring his
artistic expression to paper. “Through painting,
I may be able to get some inspiration and
ideas about textures,” he mused. Regardless
of his creative direction, Emnace’s intuition for
synthesizing colours and patterns ensures his
promising future in any art form.
