Appreciation towards Sophia Heymans for providing the following description:

“美国的风景一直为那些发生在人与人之间的故事提供着背景。无数的艺术作品描绘了人类对于自然的征服和控制，以及那些我们视之为领地和乐园的、被驯化的世界。在我的绘画作品中，我逃离了类似的角色，成为一个白日梦者，徜徉在一个脱离于“人类主宰”的时空之中。树木、微风和浪潮是我画中的主角，偶尔也会有一些人物客串其中。”— Sophia Heymans

“The American landscape has long been used as a backdrop to tell tales of human trials and affairs. Countless artworks depict our conquest and governance of wild lands, or else treat those domesticated worlds as places for our expansion and leisure. I flip the roles in my paintings, daydreaming of a time and place outside of human hegemony. I paint the trees, the wind and the waves as the main actors, while the occasional person appreciatively plays an extra. ” -Sophia Heymans

“我笔下的植物和土地皆被赋予人格，它们得以在被人类统治几百年之后表达自己的个性。薄雾在画布上伸展，如同打哈欠时舒展的双臂；岛屿和它们的倒影如同沉睡中的幽灵和妖怪从水中探出头顶；雨水从天空欢欣地坠入层层叠叠的河流与瀑布。这些画面的视角来自一只鸟，一片云，也有可能是一个幽灵：它漂浮在人类的视角之外。”

“In my paintings, the plants and landforms are characters, able to express their personality after hundreds of years of human dominance. Thin sheets of fog stretch across the canvas like yawning arms. Islands and their reflections look like the floating heads of spirits or monsters at rest. Raindrops fall ecstatically from the sky, pooling into dozens of rivers and waterfalls that cascade off the bottom of the canvas. The paintings are from a bird’s-eye view, or the perspective of a cloud or ghost, hovering somewhere outside of human perception.”

“如今的人们普遍缺乏与大地的亲密关系，他们将自身隐藏在现实之外的虚拟世界当中。你或许可以盯着屏幕轻松地度过一整天，但真实的城市和真实的地球，它们就在你的脚下。在我们出现之前，大自然是什么样子的？它还会回到那时的样子吗？如果我们离开，它是否能够重归自己的王国？”

“Many people today lack a relationship to the land. Instead, they explore and hide away in virtual worlds beyond their physical reality. It is easy to spend a whole day staring at a screen, but beneath your feet is a city, and under that city, the earth. How did nature act before we were here? Will it ever look that way again? Might our detachment provide an opportunity for nature to take back its kingdom?”

“在环境面临危险的时期，描绘快乐、富有生机且未被驯服的地球，是我聊以自慰的一种方式。地球永远不会因为我们的消失而感到孤独。”

“In this critical time for the environment, I console myself by painting a happy, lively and undomesticated earth, an earth that certainly isn’t lonely without us.”
