Description This is a view from the third floor of the public hospital in San Pablo, in the Philippines. As I walked the halls and glanced into the rooms, I could see patients who laid on bare, plastic mattresses, suffering from a tropical disease or TB. I turned my attention in the other direction and saw this beautiful lake outside the window. I found the constrast slightly disturbing, yet, melodic with serene. This part of the Philippines is strangely beautiful and sorrowful, at the same time - ChristineI am donating any profit I receive from the sale of this print, to benefit disabled and homeless children who live in the Philippines.
Christine Caridi, Naperville Member Since August 2007 Artist Statement When I was a child, I remember playing a game which included pretending my eyes were cameras. Whenever I saw something I thought would make a nice picture, well of course I would just BLINK and take an imaginary photograph!
I love to create a mood or evoke an emotion with my art. When I look at a subject, I try to imagine how it will look within the limitations of the finite measurements of a photograph. Does the subject's intrigue lie in its balance or imbalance? Which colors evoke passion and which ones saddness? Many of these photographs were taken in autumn and are very colorful.
