gardens of the future

plastic does not disappear, it merely surrenders its shape. it fractures into microshards that now permeate the clouds, the deepest ocean trenches, and the very marrow of our bones. we are becoming as synthetic as the world we have built.

gardens of the future is a series born from the tension between devastation and transformation. these sculpted paintings are crafted entirely from neighborhood trash and other second hand materials. they serve as a chilling consumerist culture “what if?” in this apocalyptic future, the pollinators vanish, the soil turns to dust, but these forever blossoms remain. at a distance, quite vibrant and whimsical. up close, a confession.

while a cautionary tale regarding the biodiversity crisis and our current trajectory, gardens of the future is also a testament to the human spirit’s capacity to find light in the darkest of places. transmuting trash into art, this series explores the bridge between our suffocating reality and our ability to break it all down and build something new together. something more expansive and beautiful.

we are currently witnessing mass extinction fueled by our own convenience. these works are a mirror. they ask us to look at the garbage of our time and dream something different.

we are the seed for future generations.
