Visual Stories of a World on the Edge
Sanda Manuila
Visual Stories of a World on the Edge The story of the danger of the denial of climate change. The story of Nature’s resilience and beauty even after the abuse we have been inflicting upon her. The story of Nature ‘s anger challenging us with extreme weather patterns: fires, earthquakes, floods, winter storms, hurricanes and more. The story of our home, torn by conflict and mistrust. The story of the fear of the other, the foe who is different and who will deconstruct you. I paint stylized representational images from which exude an allegorical quality. I want my work to be confrontational and emotionally charged. I aim at engaging the viewer with surprise, doubt and curiosity and raising many conversations in these challenging times. I paint poetry.
