David Maisel — Oblivion 15n
David Maisel

Oblivion 15n

A haunting aerial photograph by David Maisel, *Oblivion 15n* captures a vast, otherworldly landscape transformed by industrial or environmental processes, rendered in deep, saturated hues of rust, amber, and black. The chromogenic print, face-mounted to Plexiglas, lends the image a luminous, almost painterly depth that blurs the boundary between documentation and abstraction. Maisel's work invites the viewer to confront the sublime beauty and quiet devastation of human impact on the natural world.
