Tree of Death, 2021

The popular ideology of Tree of Life diminishing as it burns is symbolic of our world burning as temperatures increase killing thousands of species. All of the animals featured within this painting are endangered species. All of the animals featured within this painting that are endangered are disappearing off of this planet. I wanted the audience to understand their role in how our planet and everything on it is dying. Our world is literally on fire. Forest fires, ocean temperatures rising, desalinization, and mass extinction are just some examples of how we’re killing our planet and the animals on it through neglect.
