“Is a photograph defined by how it looks, or how it’s made?” — LW
Omani Landscapes starts with Leica photographs made in Oman and uses software to extract and reconstruct the underlying line and pattern structure.
Source photographs were made in Oman, including Wahiba Sands and Jebel Akhdar. The final works are generated from those photographs through software-based pattern extraction and reconstruction.
OMANI LANDSCAPES / LINE & PATTERN
A study of feminine and masculine — color laid over what the land already is: the dunes inherently feminine, the mountains inherently masculine.

A study of the feminine and masculine across Oman’s varied terrain—from mountain ranges to desert dunes.
Source photographs made in Oman — including Wahiba Sands and Jebel Akhdar — reconstructed through software-based pattern extraction into large-scale panoramic works.

Made in 2023, at the threshold of generative image-making, the work presses a question the moment had just made urgent — what is a photograph? When a machine can compose a picture from words alone, never opening a shutter or standing in a place, it weighs whether a photograph is defined by how it looks or by how it is made.
