Through my artworks, I always want to explore the connection between the nature and mankind. It is interesting in how we perceive and interact with each other. Looking at the past, our ancestors worshiped and feared of the nature. In mythologies and the present, some worship natural phenomena as Gods and pray for protection. Nature deity is in charge of natural forces. It dominates our fate; it can nurture us, it’s capable to destroy us. In modern society nature it-self has been interfered by humans, with technology we can control, manage the ecological system, we can predict and get alarmed of disasters. The “nature “ now we have access to, is mostly modified by humans. So I questioned myself: Is this truly natural? Through this series of works, I explored the meaning of nature to me and my role in this environment. I believe that through the means of art it is possible to point out the importance of environmental soundness through speaking to emotion and passion for nature, and by unlocking an ancient sense of awe.
