Encapsulated


"Encapsulated" invites us to explore the personal experience of the interconnection of nature and spirit. It reminds us that we are not separate from the natural world but an integral part of it. In response to the work of Satish Kumar, the artwork encourages us to embrace a life of simplicity, elegance, and joy’ where we find fulfilment through meaningful connections and purposeful actions. It emphasises our ethical obligation to live harmoniously with nature, using our gifts and resources with care and serving humanity and the planet. By embodying love, respect, and humility, we can inspire others and create a positive ripple effect on the world.

At its core, "Encapsulated" expresses the strength that a consistent simple and mindful existence offers us, the reinforcement and care it wraps around us, encapsulating our essence. It encourages us to let go of material excess and find fulfilment in the small joys of life. By living in alignment with nature, respecting its wisdom and rhythms, we can experience a deeper sense of purpose and connection. The artwork reminds us that through our choices and actions, we are strong enough to make a meaningful difference and contribute to the well-being of the planet and future generations.

CERES


The artwork "CERES" captures the essence of transformation, as the tip is turned into flourishing gardens. It signifies a transition timeline, an evolution of space and purpose. The life cycle of trees and the intricate wood grain used in constructing buildings serve as reminders of the interconnectedness between nature and human creations. Fluctuating and wavering images and timelines depict the complex history of land usage by different groups of people. The intensity of pollution on the land is undeniable, yet it is built upon and given a chance at rebirth. The juxtaposition of decay and renewal encapsulates the ongoing process of healing and restoration. CERES stands as a testament to the resilience of nature and the potential for environmental revitalisation.
