ZOSIA through To Uncreate Series, 2020 and Seize Beauty, 2020 aims to reconnect viewers to their natural environment by encompassing mimicked motions and processes of the natural world, onto the canvas. In a time of climatic changes and the diminishing of earths ecosystems, living more sustainably, responsibly and consciously is crucial. Through the paintings, Zosia attempts to portray natures cyclical processes’ encapsulating growth, struggle, pain, beauty, colour, darkness, the calm and the storm. In this attempt she dares the viewer to enter its labyrinth probing questions; how one takes care of their natural environment? How can you become more connected with the natural world? This activates connection, reflection and awareness about the audiences relationship with nature. If we can begin to connect to our natural environments, we can begin to take full responsibility and care for them. These paintings and installation act as an embodiment of the idea of the natural landscape and the obligatory need to respect, nurture and care for it.
