Departures Digital Collages

The “Departures” series by artist Britta Dietsche transports the viewer into the nostalgic yet timeless world of travel.
The digital mixed media photo collages combine the aesthetics of bygone eras with the dynamics of new beginnings, with each work telling its own story and capturing the feeling of freedom and new beginnings.
Flying becomes a sensation, flower blossoms and propeller planes merge into dream images, and the sounds of Duke Ellington’s “It don’t mean a thing if it ain’t got that swing” underline their lightness.

The airport becomes a hub for the suspension of space and time as arrivals and departures merge.
Soft pink petals frame the anticipation and the feeling of travelers.
The play of light and patterns in the collages blur contours until they become more clearly recognizable on closer inspection.
