Description:

Paradise of Scorched Earth depicts a female figure in a dreamlike, estuarial landscape. The horizon is set ablaze with several fires ravaging the fields and coconut trees in the distance. The figure is nearer to the viewer and is slightly hunched over surrounded by egrets appearing and disappearing in a dance of realism and abstraction. It touches on themes of environmentalism, disenfranchisement and the longing for escape.
