Jardines de Sucumbíos presents garden landscape photography documenting cultivated botanical diversity where human intervention and natural growth create interconnected web—gardens representing human-nature relationship Winograd explores throughout his work. This photograph seeks path through intentionally arranged plants, examining how cultivated landscapes reveal interdependencies between people and environment differently than wild ecosystems yet belong to same ecological whole. The work reconfigures personal archive by including gardens as legitimate landscape fragments, experimenting with printing materials to honor both natural organic beauty and human cultivation's aesthetic intentions. This image weaves visual connections reflecting on how gardens embody hope: spaces where humans actively participate in preserving and celebrating botanical diversity, generating emotions about conservation as collaborative act between human care and nature's inherent vitality.
The artist looks for a path between tangled branches. Reconfiguring a personal archive of diverse Colombian landscapes, experimenting with a variety of printing materials to reconstruct a whole from these fragments, recreating a forest in the center of Bogotá. Wynograd also examines a historical archive of landscapes, the roots of his own vision. He believes that the old mimetic dream of photography is still alive. These exercises aim to weave a series of visual connections and reflect on the complex web of interdependencies between humans and nature. If there is a light of hope in the midst of overlapping crises, it is the awareness that we all belong to a whole. Perhaps these images can help in that reflection.
