When We See Better From High Up reflects on distance as both refuge and burden. From above, the world appears calmer—structures simplify, conflicts quiet, and movement slows. Yet this elevation comes at a cost: separation, detachment, and the awareness of what lies below but cannot be reached.
The composition places the viewer between grounded realities and suspended observation—water, city, and land divided by scale and perspective. Figures and forms remain simplified, almost childlike, allowing emotion rather than detail to guide interpretation. What is seen clearly from above may still remain unresolved within.
This work belongs to an ongoing exploration of memory, loss, and emotional geography—how perspective reshapes meaning, and how clarity often arrives only after distance is created.
Medium: Pastel on paper
