Seeking a break from urban life, David Heo found calm in the green serenity of Camp Wandawega. Canoeing at sunrise and reflecting on personal relationships shifted his focus inward. Thinking of his partner while surrounded by vast nature sparked a narrative about connection and absence. His print blends mythic symbolism with intimate reflection, portraying emotional ties through layered imagery. The landscape becomes a stage for contemplation, transforming a quiet lakeside experience into a poetic meditation on who we carry with us, even when far from home.

In the quiet countryside of Belgium, Boicut found inspiration in small, unexpected details: a cloud like a brushstroke, the sound of deer in the forest, the calm of open fields. Traveling among fellow artists deepened the experience, creating moments of connection and shared discovery. Known for drawing from everyday objects, he gathered impressions and images throughout the trip to build a layered composition. The resulting print assembles multiple elements into a balanced yet dynamic arrangement, reflecting both the landscape’s serenity and the collective energy of the residency.
