Reflecting Eva Nielsen's interest in abandoned infrastructures, secondary homes, and photographic archives, the layered image of Scope 14 evokes the fragmented nature of memory and transmission while adding a cinematic quality to the painting. At first glance, what appears to be a landscape painting is actually seen through a square frame that distances the viewer’s gaze, introducing the language of photography.


The central image overlays a mountainous landscape with a fragment of concrete infrastructure, while the photographic frame itself transforms into a three-dimensional space through an interplay of light reflections and shadows in the painting's lower section. These projected shadows and reflections resonate with sunlight reflecting off the mountain peaks, creating a constant interaction between the perceived image and the conditions of its creation.


Echoing the screen-printing technique used in the composition, an additional layer of fabric is stretched over the canvas as a finishing touch. This technique, which Nielsen has developed since her residency at LVMH Métiers d'Arts in 2021, adds an atmospheric surface to the painting through screen-printed organza. The faint folds and creases in the fabric mimic the mountain's contours and topography, immersing the painting in a dynamic interplay of multiple fictive spaces.
