Using still life as subject matter to his current series, leCruz explores inanimate objects as agents pantomiming the passing of time and fragility of existence. In other echoes, he takes his queue from T.S. Eliot’s poem “Burnt Norton” and tries to encapsulate his personal views on temporality with his quintessential composition of images and use of color. His series utilizes trite still life images combined with the novelty of present-day mundane objects that ultimately result in their own absurdity.
