This exposition is in progress and its share status is: visible to all.
I explore the concepts of alternative histories and possible climate changes in my series “Future in the past”.
I experiment with different elements in order to create thought-provoking works that challenge the viewer's perception of the world. Through my artworks, I seek to create an illustration of " what would or was going to happen" to refer to the future from the perspective of some point in the past. That point in the past was when Earth was a water world with no dry land.
My visual designs of “Future in the past” series are both abstract and illustrative. One of their key focusses is vertical lines and unusual forms, as if suggesting the idea of an alternative perspective of growth–trees that didn't come out of water and how it changed their look. It is much about creating an entirely new world around us. I strive to create a stylization of underwater landscape, bridging together the familiar and the strange, searching the aesthetic in unusual forms.
I aim to encourage the viewer to contemplate the paths ahead and the possible influence of climate change on our organism and nature forms in general.
