Morning Sunrise seduces with the aesthetics of a pastoral dawn, only to reveal the banality of urban detritus at its core. Page plays with the iconography of the sublime, inserting a blue industrial dumpster as surrogate monolith. Graffiti and packaging waste become compositional anchors, inviting an uneasy meditation on consumption, decay, and the aesthetics of neglect.
The romantic light recalls Hudson River School idealism, but here, it's filtered through post-industrial fatigue. The piece resists nostalgia while implicating the viewer in its quiet violence. An elegy in latex and cardboard.
