International Art Exhibition 'Earth. Ver.21.23. Rebirth'
Moscow, May-June 2023
I am excited to share that my artwork, "Labyrinth in the Jungle," was chosen to be exhibited as part of the project "I form the future" at the "Earth. Ver.21.23. Rebirth" exhibition held at the Darwin State Museum in Moscow, Russia. The exhibition aimed to provoke questions about who leads the evolution process - human or nature - and the impact of human contributions to nature, given the potential for nature to wipe out humanity at any moment.
This exhibition was particularly meaningful to me as an environmental advocate since I was 12 years old when I presented my first ecological report at a city conference, which sparked my lifelong commitment to environmental advocacy, including at the United Nations.
As an artist, I use my work to express my thoughts and ideas. With "Labyrinth in the Jungle," I invite viewers to contemplate our relationship with nature and our place in the world. I represent nature as a complex labyrinth, symbolizing its incomprehensibility, where every step can lead to a vital discovery or to being lost forever. The natural system is too complex for us to understand or manage, and we must strive to respect the environment and work towards symbiosis with it, rather than trying to unravel it.
