ARTIST STATEMENT:
My home and the city I was born and raised in is expected to go underwater within my lifetime. By using materials from the palm trees right outside my home, I highlight the temporary while juxtaposing it next to seemingly-permanent artificial structures. What both have in common is that no matter whether they are natural or unnatural, they will soon sink into the ocean due to rising sea levels caused by our own thoughtless lifestyles.
