Commodified Eden, 2025
This flower child, adorned with nature represents a oneness with the planet. She’s blue, enveloped in sadness as she watches deregulation of laws meant to protect the environment, as corporate interests takes over. She is the ocean, she is the earth, she is directly front facing, looking at the viewer straight on as to confront them - yet she frozen, and helpless. Even the style that is recognized as pop art, speaks to the complexities of the culture nuances that have taken us so far away from nature, and being one with it.
