Artist Statement
Blocks of red earth are exposed one by one, amassing fallen trees. The loss of these living beings mirrors the guilt, empathy and grief that can arise from the scenes within our own lives. These chapters trigger us to reflect and appreciate the beauty, the intricate details, and the vulnerability of our existence, of what surrounds us and what is within us. This sense of awareness and perspective offers the empowerment needed to protect, grow and thrive.
