This image is a 4:3 collage of 12 4:3 images of the sky taken at Rock Canyon, over several days, from several angles and locations. Together they give an idea of how dizzying it can be trying to fully capture all the nuances and changing aspects of a place. Although locations are concrete, physical, and (more or less) unchanging, they have a more ethereal nature that can never be fully captured or replicated. The mix of light and shadow, the light playing in the branches and cracks or the canyons, the wind blowing just-so to create a temperature combination unique to that geographical area--all these tiny, ephemeral elements combine together to create that space, at that time, in relation to the person experiencing it.
Each visit to a location is unique, although the physical place remains as a constant, different tiny elements constantly work together to create each moment in a place. And each moment is, like a snowflake, different than every other.
And so, this collage aims to capture 12 different "moments" of the sky within Rock Canyon.
