Statement:
My sculptures explore the nuances and ambiguities of humanity’s relationship to nature with the understanding that humans are subject to nature. Inspired by the symbiotic relationships that sustain life in nature and concerns with the current environmental challenges, my work highlights the intrinsic physical and emotional connection we share with nature within and around ourselves.
The human figures intertwined in tree roots and tree tops bursting out of their heads and bodies emphasize the duality of human existence and reveals the fragility of human condition at the point of disequilibrium in which individuals reject the natural world and our own nature as something that is not an inherent part of us. They invite the viewers to shift their perspective from contemporary ethos of otherness towards the understanding of the inseparable essence of the human and nature relationship.
