We Are Shattered (2020)

Acrylic on Canvas and Wall

6 x 8 ft

While Covid-19 is a serious threat to humanity, I think about the ongoing environmental threat with climate change, loss of biodiversity and much more - something of a whole different scale. And this will only get worse. I wonder who is the culprit and who is the victim for this crisis. Maybe ourselves? Does the Covid-19 crisis show that we are able to wake up altogether? Or does it simply show that humans act only if there is a fatal risk for themselves? This is what I am questioning in my work.
