SHOW DESCRIPTION:
“Jared Shomo’s Element is a collection of surreal infrared photography offering viewers a dreamlike take on the U.S. Virgin Islands. A nearly futuristic force is at work within these images, which span sea, land, and society. Trees become silver and blue explosions. Ocean appears nearly black until its transformation to gold at shore. Dancers have taken to the streets in celebration beneath a sunburnt, smoke filled sky. Element is a vision, a reflection, and a portal. This exhibition is Jared Shomo’s second full scale show at 81C in Charlotte Amalie.” -The curators, 81C, April 2023
ARTIST STATEMENT
“I want this collection, Element, to serve as a meditation in simplicity; an escape from the rapid pace, accumulation, and compound interest; a visitation not only to the natural elements, but also a spark to the core element of spirit unseen. This is a visual journey to explore expressions of nature that are beyond the limits of our human perception. Infrared photography reveals a spectrum of light that exists just outside the range of human sight. It opens up a world that is foreign and intriguing, yet peaceful and surreal.” - Jared Shomo, April 2023, Charlotte Amalie
