‘Through Zaria Forman’s art, I got to see Greenland as a cold, icy landscape with glaciers flowing toward the sea. It has been a learning experience for me. I learnt how to use oil pastels and paints and I’m walking away with a better knowledge and understanding of how art can teach us about nature. Her art helped me feel connected.’

‘My artwork represents the impact of habitat destruction using symbolic patterns and colours to highlight the urgency of conversation. While creating it I felt a mix of concern, empathy and hope. It connects to aboriginal art through storytelling and I aim to raise awareness and inspire action to protect our disappearing ecosystem.’

‘We always hope for the best but it is not enough to hope. We need countless ideas and efforts which come together to accomplish a task. Hence I think that with hope we need action. If hope is a vehicle, action is the wheels which drive it.’

‘Yayoi Kusama says we are dots that can’t live alone. We need each other to complete our life.’
