PARALLEL PLACES COLLECTION
Jeremiah Meyer
Description
In "Tall grass" Meyer captures a figure partially obscured by lush vegetation, creating a powerful tension between presence and concealment. The verdant brushstrokes and contrasting white blooms suggest a garden that exists simultaneously as memory and reality. Light filters through the composition, casting ethereal shadows that blur the boundary between the figure and their surroundings. Meyer's expressive technique evokes the sensation of a fleeting moment preserved—a meditation on how we exist within spaces that both reveal and hide us.
