I found this beautiful image of Yosemite National Park and after I looked at it for a while and appreciated the beauty of the image, I found myself thinking of the mountains like skyscrapers and the river like a road. I hated that that imagery came to my mind even though it is just a product of urban life. I decided to find some images of hotels and expensive cars and turn this quiet and tranquil place into a commercial space where the wealthy have come in and destroyed it in order to make it what they think is better. While creating this, I couldn't help but think about how when you see a beautiful flower, you may want to pick it and take it home. If you do, not only will it quickly die, but you will be the only one who gets to enjoy it.
