Description
Encroachment — a fluid acrylic by Carol (PeaceUnityArt) — portrays invasive species as graphic black figures pressing across a luminous world.
Invasive species: plants and animals that cause ecological, environmental or economic harm, reproducing rapidly due to the lack of predators. Here that idea is extended as a metaphor for a few human entities whose rapid expansion concentrates power and spreads harm.
Vivid pinks collide with electric blues in rough strokes convey Earth in a chaotic state. Neon greens mark lands under siege; clustered dots and arrow-like silhouettes convey crowding, displacement and the scramble for survival. The downward arrow, roughly shaped as a skull, suggests these merging forces spilling ill effects across continents; handwritten text and symbolic figures sharpen the warning.
Layered pouring and deliberate brushwork guide the eye from region to region, delivering a peaceful yet urgent message about guardianship and collective responsibility — as gardeners of this Earth, we must unite to stem these encroachments.
A striking, thoughtful work that will prompt reflection and be a meaningful addition to your space.
