Up In The Air

It’s a story about resilience and hope. It’s a story about how we are collectively confronted with one of our greatest challenges as humanity and as individuals.

And still , it’s a story about resilience and hope.

We’re faced with the colossal challenge of climate change and its unimaginable consequences. It seems incontournable. And yet, we need to act out of hope. Show our resilience. Imagine what we as a person, and as a collective can do to turn the tide.

This artistic project wants to tell the story of the duality we’re all entangled with. The shapes are inspired by hot air balloons, as a symbol of hope, fragility and free of bounderies.

Each piece in this series is infused with the essence of the four elements. From the scorched soil, echoing the hope of new beginnings, to the tumultuous yet serene waters, these works of art carry a profound message of environmental consciousness. “Up in the Air” invites you to explore the intersection of art, hope, and the urgent need for positive change in our world. In short, a call for hope.
