“Beauty is everywhere, but the catastrophe is immense​.​” This quote from Aurelien Barrau, French Astrophysicist, encapsulates where I am in my artistic journey. I am sharing my awe for the magnificent natural world, knowing we are rapidly losing it.

I​ need to spend time in nature by myself, be immersed in it, and create with materials I find on-site. On the other hand, I strive to ​develop participatory installations with salvaged and reclaimed materials for my community. ​The most ​significant impact I can have is local. Everything starts there. My participatory installations engage the public to learn and create together.

My artwork confronts the grim reality that our current trajectory will lead to catastrophic outcomes. After a prolonged period of exponential growth, human civilization faces imminent collapse. Our thermo-industrial civilization is at war with the living world, including humans. Although some stages of this collapse are already underway, it is still possible to avert the worst-case scenario. My installations highlight the interconnectedness of various systems, underscoring the inextricable links between ecology, economics, energy, and equity.
