digital print, dimensions variable
As the natural balance of the world collapses, the earth transforms into a vast, chaotic urban jungle. Forests are flattened, trees are replaced by towering buildings and sprawling networks of pipes. Flowers and food vanish, substituted with rubbish, smoke, and pollution. In this distorted environment, animals are no longer in their element. They are survivors, forced to adapt to messy, foreign habitats that no longer resemble the homes they once knew.
They navigate through concrete and steel, desperately trying to remain present in a world that has forgotten them. Their instincts drive them forward, but survival here means adapting to a world never meant for them.
This series explores the fractured relationship between urban development and the natural world, portraying a dystopian environment where the wild is displaced, and life is forced to evolve. Coexistence has been replaced by domination. It is a visual reflection on the loss of harmony, and a reminder that I, too, am part of this horror.
