Dark Side

Cody Cobb

My photography of the land is a way for me to observe and capture both external and internal experiences. This specific series has been directly inspired by attempts to understand my lifelong and ongoing experience with major depression. These trips into the wilderness have always been an attempt to escape, rather than confront the mental illness that has shaped so much of my life and practice as an artist. It's a confusing disease that changes shape constantly, revealing itself only in silhouette and remaining just outside of comprehension. I'm haunted by it but also incredibly curious about the mechanism and function behind it. I want to observe it, but my light never seems bright enough. 

*"The resulting images are hallucinatory in their intensity, evoking a fever dream or a psychedelic trip."*

SAVE

Takuya Inoue

夢現
People are made alive by dreams and killed by dreams. In order to make our dreams come true, we have to look at reality. However, if you only stare at reality, you will lose sight of yourself as well as your dreams.
Are the dreams that come true really the dreams you wanted to achieve?
Choose the means and enjoy the process. From that moment on, you are already in a dream.
I want to keep dreaming.
I don't want to wake up.
eternity.

STATEMENT
I was saved by art. That's why I am working to create an opportunity for myself to save someone else.
Originally, I started painting to save myself from being tired of living. At that time, I was only looking at the dirty side of the world.
But that's only one side of the world. There is a front and a back to everything, and you can't eliminate only one side. When we can accept this fact and look at the two sides of things from a bird's eye view, we may be able to escape from the samsara, the cycle of suffering.

Dreamin'

Eros  

Eros originally referred to the ancient Greek god of love or love itself, but Plato used the term to describe the spiritual desire to pursue the true reality, the Idea. 
According to Plato, the human soul once saw the world of Ideas before it was born, but now it has forgotten it. The soul always has a longing for the world of ideas, and every time it sees a sensual object, it recalls the world of ideas and seeks the original idea of beauty. The desire of Eros for a beautiful body eventually leads to the desire for a beautiful soul, and ultimately to the desire for goodness and beauty itself. Eros, who yearns for the good and beautiful ideas, gives birth to philosophy (philosophia), which loves wisdom (sophia).

厭離穢土  
What will he think, left alone in this world, with his strength already exhausted but his core hardened with carbon and not allowed to decay?   
すでに力尽きたにもかかわらず芯をカーボンで固められ、朽ちることを許されず、この世にひとり残された彼は、何を思うのだろうか。

Paintings

The theme of this collection is "Salvation" and the concept is "Inversion". The images evoked by the concept of "salvation," whether positive or negative, such as mercy, dreams, death, and sorrow, are reversed and take up most of the screen to increase the contrast and highlight the theme. By doing so, it conveys the duality of all things and presents a new sense of value.

All The Way Left

ryan struck

Breathwork led me to the color Orange. When I felt enough, I opened my eyes. An incredible filter had passed over my vision. I saw all of the most beautiful greens vibrating against the red and brown Earth.

Where My Van Goes

I’d like to think my art is who I am, but it’s not.

Saturation Escape

I'm nowhere some days, and everywhere on others. Hiding in nature I find the most beautiful personal experiences. Sleeping on suburban streets, I wake to thought provoking scenes. Most places, I feel completely out of place.

I am compelled to keep seeing the US this way, photographing and writing. These memories forever living as visions from the road.
