Artist Statement 

Eroded Origins: Speak For Me ! (The Flow, The Cut and The Blessing) is a climate art initiative that transforms passive viewing into active advocacy. Designed to spark awareness and dialogue, the project explores the interconnectivity of ecosystems and humanity’s evolving role in preserving the planet. Rather than simply documenting environmental degradation, Eroded Origins invites audiences to reimagine their relationship with nature—emphasizing how deeply human actions and ecological systems are intertwined in shaping the horrible-beauty of Earth’s future.

At the core of this initiative is Speak For Me !, an interactive engagement platform that encourages participants to give voice to the environment. Inspired by the Art Matters movement, this component poses reflective, imaginative questions such as: If the forest could speak, what would it say? and What is your age? These prompts create symbolic connections between personal identity and the natural world—where ages may be represented as tree rings, linking individual stories to the planet’s timeline.

Through workshops, seminars, and interactive installations, the project fosters meaningful connections between communities and nature. Audience responses are woven into evolving digital artworks, making participants co-creators in a living climate narrative. In this way, Eroded Origins becomes a platform for reflection, collective responsibility, and environmental stewardship—using art as a catalyst for both awareness and action.

As a climate artist, I strive to engage all stakeholders in dynamic conversations about environmental care and global conservation. By exploring the physical, emotional, and symbolic openings within liminal spaces in the natural world, I aim to inspire a deeper sense of connection and responsibility toward our environment.

Living and working on the unceded territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), Dakelh (Cariboo), and Sel̓íl̓witulh (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations in Vancouver, I hope my work serves as a bridge between cultures and perspectives—promoting mutual respect and collaboration in the spirit of environmental preservation.

We pose two questions:
1. If the forest could communicate, what would it say?… Speak for me!
2. What is your age (Patron)?
