SYMBIOSIS, ONGOING
Symbiosis explores the psychological toll of rising temperatures, emphasizing the deep interconnection between psyche and land. Drawing from Robin Wall Kimmerer’s insights on reciprocity with the natural world, the work highlights how our amnesia of connection to the environment contributes to both ecological and mental distress. By visualizing vulnerability, it fosters emotional reflection and reimagines healing through renewed relationships with the land.
As urban expansion and technological advancements distance us from the natural world, climate-related stressors-heat islands, droughts, rising sea levels, and wildfires-exacerbate both physical and mental health issues. Robin Cooper, President of the Climate Psychiatry Alliance, asserts that climate change must be recognized as a pressing mental health concern. Inspired by Indigenous ecological knowledge, Symbiosis serves as a reminder-we are not separate from nature, but of it. To tend to the earth is to tend to ourselves, for the rhythms of the land echo within us, and its healing is intertwined with our own.
