Here’s the blurb-
“Twenty EU fine art photographers explore the nuances of the natural and built environment. They look beyond pictorial documentation to capture images animated by light, form, and pattern that resonate with references to a human presence that is felt if not seen. Space is not only described but mysteriously enlivened, evoking emotional rather than rational responses, and becoming meditations on space itself. They look beyond mere observation to explore how our presence and built environments intersect and impact the natural world. These images ask us to take a second look, whether at the familiar or the sublime, and to discover the unexpected and the sometimes incongruous in how we live now. The works resonate with references to a human presence that is felt if not seen. Space is not only described but mysteriously enlivened, evoking emotional rather than rational responses to become meditations on place.”
