Biography

The digital photo composites I create are a collaboration of impressions and objects that have been inscribed on the landscape by the surrounding human inhabitants. They characterise the land, based on the humans branding of the landscape, creating the result of an implied culture through signs.

Artist Statement

“I aim to capture what often goes unnoticed in our fast-paced world,” Tunks explains. “In an age where people are more engrossed in their phones than their surroundings, I seek to illuminate these overlooked elements. By focusing on the seemingly insignificant, I hope to reveal their importance and their role in our shared environment.”
