Conflict and Coexistence by Char Szabo-Perricelli
I combine my intimate relationship with Nature, my passion for the preservation of old architecture, and my fascination with life’s processes and natural reclamation into my work.
Humans often see Nature a something to be controlled rather than something vital and full of life energy that we are so profoundly and deeply connected to.
Sometimes I abstract my images in order to tell a story as I want it to be told as a visual representation of this perceived conflict. A truce with Nature and a deep connection with it enriches our lives and teaches us that we are an integral part of something infinitesimally wonderful.
During an interview a few years back, I was asked to describe my “style”. I made up a word on the spot which seemed to best define it – “biostructural”. It combines soft, organic, natural elements with human-made, stark, hard, linear ones – at first sight, in conflict but upon closer inspection, in coexistence. At least for the moment.
