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 places. transmuting trash into art, this series explores the bridge between the suffocating reality of microplastics and the radical act of reclaiming waste to beautifully adorn our world.

we are currently witnessing a mass extinction fueled by our own convenience. if we continue to consume without conscience, plastic gardens won’t just be art, they’ll become our reality.

these works are a mirror. they ask us to look at the forever-waste in our hands and truly see it.

is this the legacy we want to leave for all future generations?
