Rosa Mundi 7
Archival ink on museum-quality cotton rag paper
In Rosa Mundi, Brian Merriam conjures an unseen world into view. Captured with a full-spectrum infrared camera, these island landscapes pulse with spectral pinks and maroons—tones not painted on, but revealed from within. The ferns, rock walls, and palm leaves that populate the series shimmer in hues normally invisible to the human eye, transforming ordinary terrain into something mythic, almost alchemical.
What emerges is not simply a record of place, but a layered vision: a first, second, and third glimpse folded into a single frame. Merriam’s photographs turn the act of seeing into something enchanted—a magic trick of expanded perception. The world in Rosa Mundi is both here and elsewhere, familiar yet reimagined, as if filtered through memory or dream. Through these rose-tinted revelations, the series reminds us how much remains hidden in plain sight, waiting for the right kind of light.
