The Story of a Forest - V

2022

About the Item

"The story of a Forest" presents a biographical account of a forest in a series of six charcoal drawings. The story moves from the lush green forest in the first drawing to the dark magnitude of deforestation in the second and third drawings. The felled remains of the trees create a dreary image of the planet in the wake of exploitation. The fourth and fifth drawings evoke a sense of urgency by depicting forest fires gorging the forest and its diversity. The emerging smoke in the fourth drawing clouds the entire landscape in the fifth drawing hinging on the finality of destruction. The last image makes a conclusive statement. What remains after the continuous exploitation of natural resources is charred earth.

  • River can change its colour, River can change its course
    Located in Stamford, CT
    River is often associated as the sustainers of life and fertility, the irreversible passage of time, and a sense of change leading to loss, and death. But in this work, a river is much more than water flowing to the sea. Shifting of course and changing color is a natural tendency, but sometimes it will be a strong erosional force that can devastate and disappear a human civilization. River picks its path and there's nothing individuals can do to stop it. Female representation in my work takes its inspiration from One of the most iconic works of revolutionary painting...
