Artwork description
This painting draws direct inspiration from the haunting image of a pelican drenched in crude oil during the Gulf of Mexico oil spill, a symbol of helplessness, suffering, and ecological neglect.
Translated into the human form, the central figure slumps forward in a posture of silent agony, shrouded in smudged earth tones and bleeding reds. The figure becomes a surrogate for more-than-human trauma, it becomes a witness and victim of man-made catastrophe.
The scorched horizon and ash-drenched sky evoke a world smothered by its own extractive impulses.
Hunger speaks to a yearning that exceeds the physical, a hunger for empathy, for accountability, for repair against a backdrop of irreversible damage.
