Descrição
"The Last Tree is Burning" is a work combining paper, acrylic, and gilded wooden trunks. The environmental theme, seemingly distant from the artist's biography, actually reflects a broader wound: that of the world and that of the artist himself. The destruction of the last tree, its slow and painful burning, is an image that echoes the sense of vulnerability the artist knows intimately. Yet, in the gold of the trunks—a symbol of a tenuous but possible hope—one recognizes a profound need for redemption, for healing, for reconstruction. That gold is not decoration: it is the promise of change, a call to collective responsibility born of a personal urgency.
