Suspended Landscapes
sarah hood salomon
My work is rooted in my deep love and admiration for trees . Climate change and urbanization have created enormous challenges for the survival of our forests , and the ever expanding human population has severely limited the amount of natural habitats . The work in these photographs are taken on properties that are about to be developed — the trees in the pictures will soon be destroyed . I have purposely scratched my photographs with sandpaper in response to the tragedy of their imminent destruction . My photographs are a celebration of the woodlands , but also reflect the sadness I feel as a result of the environmental changes our planet is experiencing .
