Wings Sporting Earthworms

A solitary human silhouette becomes a living map, its interior blooming into a richly detailed ecosystem of rivers, fields, and small creatures, as though the body itself were a vessel for the world’s memory and cycles. Set against a brooding, nocturnal void and flanked by rigid, industrial pillars, the figure’s luminous greens and ochres read like a fragile paradise held in suspension—nature rendered as both inheritance and burden. The mask-like face, cool and impersonal, introduces a clinical distance that sharpens the tension between organic abundance and an environment that feels staged, monitored, and precarious. In this quiet tableau, the work suggests an ecology of the self: the planet internalized, protected, and yet inevitably exposed to forces that stand just outside the skin.
