MARVELS
Will the new inhabitants of these marvels simply be bypassers or will they stay and make thriving cities of nature’s life.
Because of mankind, the animals have been pushed to live in the most abandoned regions of the earth.
In search of places where men are rarer than animals.
Shall the ballrooms be again a place of dance and joy, rooms full of life,
and the buildings a place of comfort and shelter against the crude forces who retook them?
This series is dedicated to show the beauty and vulnerability of these beautiful buildings and animals, -to give a voice to this earth’s inhabitants who have none, and for inspiring future generations to preserve their cultural heritage.
This series was made in collaboration with Yoerie Custers who was responsible for the photography of the uninhabited places.
Cheraine Collette is a Dutch artist who specializes in fine art photography and digital painting.
Essentially, she creates imaginary worlds composed of photographed parts of nature and locations across the globe.
Her work can be summarized in three ways -
Authentic, Imaginative, and a longing for beauty.
