Constructing diptych and triptych (Nadav Kander inspired)

As well as being great story-telling devices, diptychs, triptychs are visually pleasing and help make use of photos that may not work on their own or perhaps enhances a single image with the method. There is no right or wrong when it comes to these composites so my main aim was to use the method with single images as appose to using multiple images. This idea was inspired by Nadav Kander’s work that I have previously looked at. I am inspired by this method and think it enhances the viewers appreciation for the image due to the fact it is constructed into two or three separate images instead of only one.


I think that this method of presenting my work, implies the passage of time and timelessness, echoing the oceans perpetual cycle of change and renewal. This idea also reflects how the view we are looking at has been experienced by many of our ancestors despite the change in time period. This shows a sense of underlying beauty in what otherwise would be a rather boring landscape, linking to my studies on zen Buddhism. The notion of time created emphasizes how the landscape is always changing and brings a focus to the external factors that i have tried to portray in this project such as lighting and weather change.
