Artist statement :
My artwork shows an image from our near future where there is no space left for the trees to live on. what is left is our buildings.
Our growing population has become a threat to their lives.
Buildings can give us shelter and basic daily life requirement but what ‘s the use if we would not be alive. Our life depends on these poor trees who are thrown out from their own homelands. Our developments are pushing our nature towards extinction and indirectly us.
