Tikkun olam

Artist Statement: My artwork features individual canvases, each highlighting a distinctive sculptured surface created from locally sourced sand and stones. I utilize vibrant colors derived from 100% pure natural earth pigments, blended with a specially formulated, non-toxic, plastic-free medium, including laterite soil and lodestone mineral pigments.

All wooden elements in my pieces are FSC-certified, guaranteeing responsible forest management, while the modular system is constructed from recycled plastic sourced in Helsinki. I am dedicated to using plant-based, cruelty-free, and sustainably sourced materials that emphasize environmental responsibility and uphold workers' rights.

Tikkun Olam, a Hebrew phrase, translates to “repairing the world.” It’s an ancient concept that various Jewish denominations have adopted to signify social action and the pursuit of social justice. In the context of environmental activism, this concept serves as a powerful reminder of our individual and collective responsibility toward the Earth and all its inhabitants, including an mals.

Tikkun Olam provides an ethical and spiritual framework for activism, emphasizing our responsibility and potential to bring about positive change.
