Roots and Ruins – 2

Mixed Media on Paper, 28 cm diameter, 2024

A series exploring the delicate balance between nature’s resilience and human impact. In Roots and Ruins, tangled roots and fractured landscapes tell a story of survival and decay. This series captures the fragile beauty of a rare flowering tree in Sri Lanka’s rainforests, the silent struggle of plants, and the traces left by human presence—echoes of what once thrived. Each piece reflects the tension between destruction and regeneration, inviting the viewer to contemplate their connection to the natural world
