In this series, I'm looking at the relationship between the Vandyke Brown process and nature. How the color of a natural brown-black pigment obtained from bog earth, peat, or lignite deposits improves the substance and context of natural landscapes. Cassel earth or Cologne earth are other names for vandyke brown. Its color has an earthy quality or tone that complements the natural images. This color increases the enigmatic tonality while also allowing viewers to conjure up their own perspectives about whether these plants and scenery are present-day or from another era. Brown is also connected with life, growth, and the earth's color. It's a color that represents sincerity, reliability, honesty, and loyalty. It is related to maturity and being sensible, which will help in illusion with time.

Working with the Van Dyke Brown Process makes me slow down and appreciate the details and process of creation. It allows me to better observe how things are made, like how nature has changed over time.

Through these images, I want the audience to establish a connection to nature and reflect on both its aesthetic worth and its very existence. I'm hoping that the series will get people to think about how much of nature we've lost. Will we be able to see this gorgeous landscape in person? If people continue to consume nature at an unsustainable rate, will we still have these?
