Artist Statement - The Reclamation of Terra
Since the early 20th Century, the trans identity has been forming into what we see now as the modern trans rights movement. However, whilst my trans siblings celebrate each hard-won advancement, another war is being fought to keep the planet, our home, from being destroyed. UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres stated in a 2022 climate change report that “there is nothing natural about extreme weather conditions”.
What good is global equality if the earth is rapidly unravelling? Will there be a world left for us to enjoy? For me personally, nature has always been a great healer. I’ve always lived in cities that bombard me with noise 24/7. Being out in nature eliminates the noise and allows me to recalibrate. As someone who was diagnosed with autism in adulthood, it makes total sense that being in a void of constant assault is healing. So, I am invested in saving these dwindling pockets of nature as they help me live my life as a functioning member of society.
This series is a call to arms. I am asking my rainbow family to unify to fight the global climate crisis on both a macro and micro level and overturn this eminent disaster with the might of our world changing movement. Help me save the soulful balm that is our natural planet.
