When most people pass by a construction site, they don’t give the scene a second thought and quickly go on with their day, but for artist Sara Willadsen, these sites are beautiful scenes that bring new life to areas. In her painting, “Rebuilding,” Willadsen depicts the rebuilding of an old home, showcasing the different layers that go into construction while highlighting the intricate relationship that exists between the different stages of the building process. The painting starts off with a sketch of the home, on top of that is the beginning of a wooden frame, and on top of that is an image of cranes lifting more beams up to create the final product.
