The title the Spectre at the Feast refers to Shakespeare's Macbeth and the haunting after the murder of Banquo. It serves as a metaphor for the remorse and consequences surrounding our destruction of the natural world. The montage style layout is inspired by Haiku poetry, Surrealism, cinema and my psychoanalytic training. It's the 3rd of my Dejavu trilogy andImages were taken from 2012-2022.

"My fine art practice, influenced by surrealism, conceptual art and psychoanalysis is based on a lifelong respect and passion for photography. Now, I train AI models exclusively on my photographic archives to push the limits of pictorial plasticity while continuing my traditional digital photography practice simultaneously. I brought back a renewed sense of adventure to my 35mm digital photography. Nancy Oliveri, 1958, Providence, RI is an American photographer & recipient of numerous international exhibition awards, honors and features for her 20 photo books, still life & street photography.
