I explore the interconnectedness of environmental threats, from climate change to chemical pollution, in works of the Earth series.
My white sculptured artworks are crafted from earth's gifts, like hand-picked sand and Rutile mineral pigment, combined with reclaimed materials found in urban areas - from discarded wood to stone powder. I've developed techniques using only biodegradable mediums to create textured surfaces that mirror nature's ground in the color of plastic pollution.
My mission is to expose the hidden dangers of microplastics, where art stands as a stark reminder of our planet's plastic crisis. Alarming facts, like microplastics found in human blood, fuel my creative process. I pour hope into creative process, aiming to inspire change in our daily habits. They're not just art – they're a call to action. Each piece strives to make the invisible threat of microplastics visible and urgent.
My art pieces serve as a bridge between scientific data and emotional impact. When viewers encounter these white artworks, I want them to feel what I feel - determination to make a difference. These silent pieces remind us that our everyday choices matter in the fight against microplastic pollution.
