Description

In this series of mixed media works, the artist highlights the question of environmental sustainability in his individual form and techniques. On the handmade paper created by the artist himself, he has playfully used materials found from construction sites and achieved his innovative form while delivering a core notion of sustainability, a plea for mindful practices and resilience against ecological adversity.

The visual narrative unfurls as a mesmerizing cartographical spectacle, akin to a map that lays bare the heart of a landmass. Here, the artist endeavors to spotlight the lush expanses of forests and verdant territories, sacred havens under siege by the encroaching forces of imperialism, colonialism, and industrialism. In this evocative portrayal, the artist not only captures the struggle between nature and human intervention but also underscores the urgent need for sustainable coexistence. Through his innovative expressions, he urges viewers to confront the consequences of unchecked human activity and advocates for a collective resistance that champions the delicate balance of our planet’s ecosystems.
