Frederic C. Kaplan
For two decades I have looked above into the cosmos for ideas and inspiration. The theories of Einstein, writings of Stephen Hawking, and the bizarre quantum character of nature have all contributed to the content of my pictures. For this new body of work I have searched not only above, but also below into the realm of the sea and the face of the earth.
Just as the cosmos has expanded and evolved from a compact beginning, our planet and its seas have likewise evolved. It has matured from a cloud of dust into a complex ecosystem. The cosmos, oblivious in its immensity to humanity, continues unaffected in its lumbering progression toward an unimaginably distant nothingness, while the earth plunges ever more rapidly toward climatic catastrophe. My current pictures contrast the pristine innocence of the universe to the indifferent human-driven defilement of planet Earth.
