Blue Reverie - Collection by Samantha Wang

Blue Reverie reflects my exploration of the fragile coexistence between humanity and the natural world. After the pandemic, the rush of travel left previously quiet destinations overwhelmed by visitors eager to capture beauty for social media or personal experiences. In many places, the sheer weight of human presence quietly strained landscapes, local cultures, and daily life — leaving behind waste, disturbance, and subtle marks on environments once admired for their calm.

This experience inspired me to create a body of work that documents the tension between admiration and exploitation. I wanted to capture not only the beauty of nature but also the vulnerability that results when human curiosity becomes careless. These works are a meditation on how fragile ecosystems and cultural spaces can be quietly bruised by attention, and how beauty, while inspiring, is not immune to harm.

I work primarily with cyanotype, acrylic paint, and real botanicals, combining traditional photographic processes with contemporary mixed media. Cyanotype uses sunlight to create blue prints, and by pressing real flowers and leaves, each piece carries an imprint of life itself. Some blooms appear intact, while others are broken or bandaged, reflecting the marks left by human touch. Textures like bubble wrap evoke both protection and suffocation, while plastic bottles and traces of waste quietly mark human neglect. Together, these elements express the tension between preservation and damage, care and carelessness.

The collection is dominated by blue tones, which convey calm, beauty, and melancholy — a reminder that even in serenity, there is fragility. Some works feature isolated white leaves or flowers, symbolizing the alienation that can occur when a place or community is overwhelmed by external forces. Each piece carries nature’s own memory — preserved yet vulnerable.

Blue Reverie is ultimately an invitation to pause and reflect. It asks viewers to slow down, to admire without consuming recklessly, and to interact with the world more thoughtfully. The series is not a rejection of tourism or human engagement, but a call for responsible attention: to honor beauty, to support sustainability, and to care for delicate ecosystems and cultural spaces before they are permanently altered.

Through these works, I hope to evoke reflection, calm, and a renewed sense of responsibility. Blue Reverie captures the delicate balance between inspiration and impact, showing that beauty can exist alongside vulnerability, and that mindfulness in how we engage with the world can help protect it for future generations.

The Artwork 

Title: Tender Rupture Medium: Cyanotype Collage on Wooden Board Size: 42x59.4cm  A collage of flowers and leaves, some bandaged, holding beauty and fragility in delicate tension.  I have used my collection of pressed flowers that i preserved over the years creating the imprint adding on element of bandages, signifying the marks humanity leaves on the natural world.
Title: Distanced  Medium: Acrylic on Wooden Board Size: 42x59.4cm A single white leaf among vibrant ghost like foliage, alienated and estranged within its own home.  Preserved leaves are used in this artwork, imprinted using white acrylic with layers of different shade of blue.
Title: Silence Descent Medium: Acrylic on Wooden Board Size: 42x59.4cm Leaves cascade downward, quietly bearing the weight of human impact and loss.  These are not just metaphors for damaged ecosystems, but for local communities too—residents who feel like strangers in their hometowns under the weight of unchecked tourism.  Painted using fresh leaves.
Title: Breathless I,II,III,IV Medium: Cyanotype Collage on Wooden Board Size: 20x30cm each Bubble wrap recurs throughout as both protector and suffocator, reflecting our conflicted desire to shield while simultaneously smothering. Plastic bottles appear as symbols of waste left behind—small acts of neglect that accumulate into lasting scars.
