Artist Statement:

This series of artworks challenge the view of anthropocentrism, a philosophical point of view that argues that human beings are the central or most important entities in the world. A belief embedded in many western religions and philosophies. Anthropocentric considers humans as separate and superior to nature and holds that human life has an intrinsic value over other entities (including animals, plants, mineral resources, etc.) They are resources that can be justifiably exploited for the benefit of humanity.

The expression of outrage at the way humanity is doing absurd things to juxtapose unexpected images to surprise and shock of the condition of the world and all those whose inhabitants. How surrealism blurs the borders of the human and the animal. This spatial in fine art and digital collage principles, and in the many hybrids and mutations of Surrealism crossing borders because of the ethical and the politics associated with the ecosystem.
