INVISIBLE THREAT

Nature is within us it breathes us, just as we breathe it.
But what happens when the very source that sustains us
is turned into something toxic by human hands?
The air has become a testimony to our actions
laced with traces of greed, ignorance, and convenience.
Not only the space around us is polluted,
but the very essence of our existence.
And yet, therein lies the power of reversal:
Every breath reminds us that change is not only possible but necessary.

VISIBLE CONSEQUENCES

The brightly colored, AI-generated gas masks
in the background of her monumental portraits
are stark symbols of a threat we prefer to gloss over or deny.
They stand as a warning to the ignorance of our time
urging us to confront the forces
that endanger our existence.

ANIMATED CONTRAST

In these short animations, a symbol of hope always appears
delicate, quiet, and almost absurdly gentle.
It serves as a visual counterpoint to the weight of the world.
This consciously exaggerated softness is no accident
but a conceptual contrast:
It unsettles and precisely because of that,
opens space for reflection.

Deep within us,
there is a childlike longing
for a world we might still be able to heal.

Inner Monologue

I was born into this world.
To me, it feels normal.
I know nothing else
yet I feel that something is wrong.
What I experience shapes what I believe.
And what you do, shapes who I become.
