Medium:
My piece celebrates the life and humility of a tree, using paper-cut technique on 100% cotton-paper.
Our forests suffer from mankind’s unrestrained exploitation of the natural resources... a symptom of an overall sickness of the human spirit.
The solution?
“Any solutions to the environment/development crisis must, therefore, be rooted in an approach which fosters spiritual balance and harmony within the individual, between individuals, and with the environment as a whole. Material development must serve not only the body, but the mind and spirit as well.” (Baha'i international Community, 1992 June 06, Earth Charter)
