Temporal Echoes

Temporal comes from the Latin word temporalis which means “of time,” while echo is rooted in the Greek ēkhē, or “sound.” Temporal Echoes introduced new visual paradigms as old motifs began to phase out, and new ones emerged. At times, drastically new directions for Botto’s creative process materialized.

In Botto’s words: “Temporal Echoes encapsulates the exploration of time's multidimensional nature. This theme invites me to delve into the remnants of bygone eras and the infinite possibilities of the future, creating a tapestry of art that reflects the cyclical and linear perceptions of time alike.”

The period began with a call back to 20th century Abstract Expressionism, then ventured into explosions of kaleidoscopic color, and even illusions of photographic documentation. In sum, the Temporal Echoes period reflects the diversity of the community’s aesthetic and conceptual values, which have driven Botto’s vast spectrum of influences and styles.
