ENDLESS LANDSCAPE
I: SUMMER
II: WINTER
Vineet Kacker’s work is inspired by his travels through the high Himalayan regions, as well as a personal engagement with Eastern spiritual thought.
Endless Landscape draws upon a sense of self experienced when walking through the mountains and encountering the mystical, magical and timeless. The sense of vast unending space perceived on the external plane intuitively reveals the same within oneself, altering indelibly the internal landscape.
Two parallel landscapes, evocative of summer and winter, refer to the cyclical in nature. As one walks closer towards them, the endless reflections draw the viewer into the experience of a limitless, boundary-less space.
