Sustainable Nature Solution III: Pulse

Pulse is the third installment in my Sustainable Nature Solution series, a deeply environmentally engaged work. In this series, I explore the intricate relationship between nature and urbanization, highlighting the urgent need for sustainability. Through my art, I aim to spark awareness and inspire action toward preserving our planet's delicate ecosystems.

It is always a challenge for me as an artist to create transparent work.

Trees convert carbon dioxide into oxygen through the intricate process of photosynthesis. During the day, atmospheric moisture and light provide the energy needed for this vital chemical conversion.

In my work, I use household drains to illustrate how trees rely on this process both day and night. I document this phenomenon by positioning the trees' leaves as protagonists—the heroes striving to save our planet.

In urban environments like New York City, trees play a crucial role in combating mounting air pollution from automobiles, industry, and human activity.

I incorporate lightboxes to highlight the urgent need for sustainable urban planning and replanting.

This exhibit is a call to action for all citizens and communities, emphasizing the importance of addressing environmental challenges in heavily congested cities and industrial sites.
