A Mystical Moment
GERRIE LEWIS
My art portrays the harmonious connection between nature and society because of their interrelationship. As a photographic artist, I symbolically connect debris to nature in a positive art form, rather than focusing on the negative impact waste has on our planet. I view my work as instilling optimism that might ultimately encourage others to bond with nature peacefully and foster positive change.
The natural world inspires my camera to capture the vibrant colors and wonders of Earth, as well as the unique textures and colors of society’s discarded items. These photos give me an intriguing palette to work with. My deep passion lies in taking the unwanted debris and seamlessly blending it with the beauty of nature, resulting in a unique and transformative visual experience. I am deeply committed to using my creativity to inspire others to live harmoniously with nature.
Watching nature’s constant changing of colors and forms fascinated me as a child. The metamorphosis of animals intrigued my imagination. During my childhood, I enjoyed catching tadpoles and observing their development into frogs. I was in awe of caterpillars and how they transformed into beautiful butterflies. As I witness their graceful ascent into the sky, I yearn for the ability to soar alongside them. Early in my life, reading about science was a struggle for me because of my dyslexia, so I relied on my firsthand encounters with nature to learn about its wonders. Gradually, my handicap underwent its own transformation that enabled me to become something meaningful, like a photographic artist who captures the beauty in everything, even in the unwanted.
“I am passionately decided to producing art that instills a sense of
optimism, inspiration, and a drive towards sustainability.” GL
