Held by the Living Earth
Description
Held by the Living Earth is a mixed media collage on canvas that reflects on the resilience of Mother Nature and the interdependent lives sustained within her ecosystems. Composed of layered photographic imagery, organic elements, and spray paint, the work brings together fragments of flora, birds, and natural environments into a unified visual narrative of continuity and care.
The collage structure evokes a living archive of landscapes and seasons, where botanical forms and animal presence coexist in a delicate yet enduring balance. Birds emerge as central symbolic figures, representing fragility, adaptation, and freedom, while also serving as indicators of ecological health. Their presence underscores the idea that animal life persists through the sustaining force of nature, even amid environmental disruption.
Organic materials and tactile details introduce a physical connection to the natural world, reinforcing the artwork’s theme of resilience through diversity. The layering of imagery suggests cycles of growth, decay, and renewal, highlighting nature’s ability to regenerate while carrying the memory of change. Spray paint subtly unifies the composition, softening transitions and creating atmospheric depth.
Signed and varnished by the artist, this 60 × 60 cm work is presented unframed and ready to hang. Held by the Living Earth invites reflection on the strength of natural systems and the quiet endurance of the animals that depend on them, offering a contemplative meditation on coexistence, protection, and ecological continuity.
