All of the text written and "taped" to these landscapes are trompe l'oeil elements (a term meaning "trick the eye"), and crucially, the text itself is taken from actual one-star reviews left about the national park or landscape pictured. I find them via Yelp or Googlemaps, and find what I would deem a 'disturbing abundance' of negative opinions, shouted into the void of the internet. I choose the reviews that display a profound dissonance between the hiker/visitor and the landscape to which they have stood before and experienced. By mocking their disappointment I aim to alter our own expectations of what a trip into nature can, should, or is able to, provide. 

Additionally, when possible, the trompe l'oeil element is modeled after a piece of paper/cardboard/litter found on site.
