Violet Bond for Achetez de l'Art, PARIS: Dust and ash

These majestic trees have been reduced to shadows of their former selves. I appreciate this perspective because they appear alive, standing tall in the landscape, yet in reality, they are lifeless, lying amidst the ash, soon to be concealed by the new saplings that will emerge during the upcoming rains in the shadow of a giant.

I utilised a circle of red dirt to accentuate the still-burning tree stump; the shape was already present, and I merely enhanced it.

Made on Dalabon country in the Northern Territory, Australia. I pay my respect to the Traditional Owners of the land and their Elders, past, present and emerging.
