The White Maze is a large-scale composite image that was created by photographing painted artificial plants in various arrangements with a large format camera. Afterwards, the images were digitally woven to create a disorienting landscape. As a meditation on the sensory experience of being engulfed and lost in whiteness, the image critically adopts pictorial conventions of East Asian landscape painting to contemplate how territories and spaces have been colonized, imaged, and experienced. The piece has been presented in different configurations as a photographic print and as a photographic installation at an architectural scale.
