Vice (color)
2026
A striking composition captures a wolf standing upright in a vintage convertible, positioned prominently in the foreground alongside a woman in a leather jacket and cap. The scene is set against a dramatic landscape of towering rock formations under golden afternoon light, with additional vehicles visible in the soft focus background. The photograph merges wildlife subject matter with American car culture and desert aesthetics, creating a surreal yet carefully composed tableau. Rendered in rich color with deep blacks and warm earth tones, the image exemplifies the artist's signature approach to large format documentary photography that blends natural history with conceptual storytelling. The work invites viewers to contemplate tensions between the wild and the civilized, presented with technical precision and cinematic scale.
