Sunset airplane wilderness ranch: Letha Wilson: I heart photography

This picture is of a ranch, done on a piece of paper that had been previously folded into a paper airplane. This picture made me think of humanity's manipulation of nature. Here, we see something that is a product of nature (the horizon). However, the picture is on a piece of paper that was once manipulated to be a paper airplane. In this sense, I believe Letha Wilson was attempting to show humanity's capacity to manipulate nature, for better or for worse. To add to this effect, the creases from the former paper airplane seemed to be stressed, and the surrounding light that lights up the paper seems to peak at certain points to stress that changing topography of the paper.
