Pure explores awe and wonder, in this case through processing and refraction of multiple images photographed at Pine Lake on Tasmania's Central Highland Plateau. The work is framed in a custom built lightbox and is best viewed when backlit as the multi-dimensional nature of the work comes alive through illumination. Daniel views these works as stained glass artworks for a 21st Century Digital world.

Pure is a work from Daniel's series, The Way Forward is Back. It was one of the key pieces developed for his Master of Fine Arts at RMIT. The Way Forward Is Back is an exploration of awe and wonder through a lens of abstracted, digital landscape images. Daniel A’Vard presents the images as backlit prints in lightboxes to evoke the majesty and mystery long associated with stained glass windows. The work invites the viewer into an imagined place that transcends space and time as we know it.
