Mixed media
Repurpose materials on fabric

60” x 80” 

This powerful mixed-media artwork represents the four elemental forces—using repurposed materials to convey an urgent environmental message. The piece highlights humanity’s relentless extraction of resources from the Earth, reminding us that while we take from nature, we cannot return materials in their original form.

A serene yet haunting feminine face emerges from lush green textures, symbolizing Mother Nature. The use of fabric, mesh, and organic materials creates a deep connection to forests, plants, and life itself.
Flowing, layered fabric and torn materials form a swirling vortex, symbolizing the depth and power of water. The circular motion evokes a whirlpool, representing the depletion of our oceans and the struggle for balance.

Dark, tangled netting and red streaks represent destruction and transformation, symbolizing the consuming nature of fire and its role in both renewal and devastation.
Floating, twisted elements and delicate dangling materials evoke the movement of wind, connecting all the other elements in a dynamic, organic interplay. Objects such as metal chimes, hollow bamboo, or beads woven into the piece produce subtle sounds when moved by air, making the invisible force of wind tangible. These auditory elements deepen the viewer’s engagement, reinforcing the idea that air, though unseen, is a powerful and ever-present force.

The artwork is composed of found objects, fabrics, wires, and repurposed textiles, reinforcing its message of sustainability. The

raw, deconstructed textures remind us of our inability to return extracted materials to their original, untouched state, highlighting the irreversible impact of human activity on nature.

This immersive piece serves as both a warning and an invitation for reflection, urging viewers to reconsider their relationship with the environment and the responsibility of stewardship over the natural world.
