The Conflict

As humans, we often try to control nature—building on untouched land, cutting down trees for development, and poisoning the earth with waste and chemicals. In this relentless effort to bend nature to our will, we overlook the cost: nature suffers. This artwork captures the conflict between human ambition and the natural world, symbolizing the internal struggle of feeling trapped between our desire to dominate and our deep connection to nature. In attempting to control the earth, we make it sick. The piece reveals the raw truth of our actions, exposing the earth’s fragility and scars. Through this work, I express my sadness and call for a shift towards living harmoniously with nature, cherishing and protecting her in all her brilliance.
