Artist Statement
My art reflects how urbanization harms the animal world. In my series, I show how grasslands are replaced by construction sites, causing birds to suffer from air pollution, artificial light, noise, and human disturbances. The man-made concrete jungle has come at a heavy price for nature, and the fossil of a bird symbolizes this. Erasers are used to form birds, which act as a metaphor for their deterioration. This raises the question: are we prospering in the name of development?
