Looking Back at You

This artwork depicts a windswept figure with their back to the viewer, looking across a landscape where a forest fire burns in the distance, its smoke swallowing half the sky. The painting invites viewers to sit with a familiar discomfort: how do we respond when confronted with distant suffering – ecological, political, human? It captures the tension of living safely while catastrophe unfolds elsewhere – the guilt, helplessness, and quiet gratitude that coexist in that awareness
