Albane Simon, Artist, London

Description

This is a surreal collage featuring two herons standing near a body of water. A series of yellow steps leads to a traditional red torii gate, behind which rises a snow-capped Mount Fuji. Three white face masks are placed on the steps. To the right, a Buddha statue sits in meditation. Two red carp swim in the water in the foreground. White and yellow waterlilies float above the mountain. The sky is cloudy and textural. The composition exhibits a blend of natural and cultural elements, with a muted, desaturated color palette.
