Piece description from the artist
Smile in the Sky was taken at 3,000 feet during a hot air balloon ride over the ancient pyramids of Teotihuacan, Mexico. Among the fifty or so balloons flying in our vicinity, I was mesmerized by this giant happy face staring back at me. Fear and joy become naturally juxtaposed as a the life of unsecured people thousands of feet in the air is in the hands of a bold, bright, nylon, smiling balloon.
Blaise Roy Ormond is a multi-disciplinary artist born and raised in Los Angeles, CA. Blaise began shooting film photography as a hobby in 2017 after completing his Master’s degree in Media Ventures from Boston University. Over the years, as the world of photography continued to trend more digital, he became passionate about revitalizing tangible art with analog technology. This passion has inspired Blaise to shoot photography exclusively with 110 film and capture that nostalgic essence on vintage cameras. His first self produced exhibit, THAT HOUSE – Home Sweet Home, will be a fully immersive art experience set in the 1970s to be held at the start of 2023.
