Exploring Drought and Climate Shifts

Every country is experiencing the drastic effects of climate change. My climate change paintings intersect with the arts, the struggle for human rights, and global ecology.

"As a species with relatively short lives and even shorter attention spans, humans struggle to grasp the long-term scope of an evolving emergency they will not live to experience fully. The most effective protest art, then, does not confront us with the evidence we've already proven perfectly willing to ignore. Instead, it broadens the narrow ways we tend to conceive of time and our position within larger ecologies without necessarily mentioning climate change by name. The resulting works are not demands for immediate action but ones that expand our psychological capacity to act." Z. Lescaze, March 2022
