Raising awareness about the challenges faced by the white northern rhino, a species on the brink. With only two surviving females and the last male passing in 2018, in-vitro fertilization offers a ray of hope for their rescue, utilizing preserved semen.

The rhino shapes incorporate urban development themes—land divisions, mapping, and architecture encroaching on nature, displacing communities. Vibrant colors symbolize optimism, shifting focus from despair.

The patchwork of shapes within their bodies echoes the way developers carve up land for urban expansion—a view I often reflect on when flying above landscapes, seeing the gridded marks of human encroachment. These fractured forms symbolize their eroding habitats and the intrusion of civilization into once-inaccessible territory.

As with much of my work, the final process involves carefully placing symbols that intersect cultures, objects, and moments in time. These clusters are my way of searching for balance—within the piece and within myself—amidst a chaotic world. It becomes a visual prayer, distilling complexity into a hopeful narrative of harmony and connection.
