Alex Fischer

Alex Fischer series of digital collages really stand out to me. They show such a strange abstraction of the human form. As I look at the mixing of elements of nature with the human form and other abstract forms, I begin to wonder if this work is about our identity or the lack thereof and our ability to relate to the world. Many of the images strike me as dreamy. I like the fact that the images to really allude to one medium but rather seem to incorporate elements of both photography and painting.
