Realms, After Darger, China/Cambodia, 5m x 1.2m, 2023

This image began as a tribute to Henry Darger, and has the primary goal to create something ethereal and unreal. It is based in a scene, where the upper half of the image is taken in Angkor Thom, Cambodia, using a Gigapan camara, which allows for a huge panoramic image and the lower half of the image began is another similar image taken of the Terracotta Army, in Xian, China. This scene is overlaid with hundreds of Ai generated characters. Some based on the iconography of Darger and others, are of unusual and often uncanny subjects.
