We are our nature, we are a part of nature and we cannot survive without her. Colonialism sought to sever our bond with the earth, teaching domination instead of stewardship. But Indigenous wisdom guides us back to harmony with nature.

Each collage in this series is crafted from discarded elements, a testament to my commitment to waste reduction. Utilizing symbols of nature like moss and leaves, these artworks symbolize our journey toward reconnection with the natural world.

Through the profiles of human faces, we witness the collective effort to mend our relationship with the planet, especially in the face of environmental crisis.
