The desaturated images distinguish the boundaries between photorealistic paintings
and photographs. The latter cannot achieve such a dynamic range, nor the gradation potential in paintings. My exploration of these unlimited visual attributes achieves painterly qualities, and at the same time, makes these sublime and heroic images powerless.
