Statement

There is a beautiful power that lies within art and its ability to tell stories. I am passionate about highlighting a story of conservation of nature and ecology. I put much emphasis on the use of materials that can be recycled and don't harm the harmony of nature.


Wrecking globe series
Hand objects made of borax crystals cultured on a brass structure which I had made. I added chains with small metal wrecking balls, a miniature version of the heavy steel balls that were used to demolish buildings until the 1970’s. When the objects swivel from side to side, the metal balls fly into the crystals violently shattering them with a sound that reminds one of the clatter made by icebergs as they break up just before they sink into the ocean.

In this work, the growth of the crystals represents the continuous building process of nature in contrast to the wrecking ball, which represents the immediate and critical damage to nature by humans.

The visual splendor of the shattering, as seen in the accompanying video "Wrecking globe" aims to caution, awaken us, too the climate catastrophe taking place and likely to grow harsher due to collective disregard to the global warming.
