Piece description from the artist
This photo was taken from the top of the Island of Capri in Italy. I walked for almost an hour to get to this point, which gave an aerial vantage point over this gorgeous coastal view. Below, I could see residential homes, and boats in the harbor, and if I looked further, I could see Sorrento and the mainland. I captured this view to reveal an view that I had only imagined as a child, hearing stories about this magical island. My goal in capturing this particular view was to show not only the streets, cafes, shops and resort hotels, but to reveal the natural side of this place, the side that emphasized its cliffs, vegetation, homes, and the way that even a small island can look enormous, when so much is in one view. It was my aim to encourage others to travel outside their comfort zone and explore our world with intense curiosity.
