2025, Mixed Media (acrylic paint, glitter, fabric paint and pre-production plastic pellets) on canvas.
This creative piece was part of a course assignment to show differences between urbanized environments and natural ones. The growth of the tree in the natural environment reflects our psychological response and positive spirit in natural spaces, whereas leafless branches in the urbanized environment reflect challenges we face when alienated from nature. Pre-production plastic pellets (nurdles) from cleanups were used to portray the spill of pollution from the urban to the natural side.
