Suspended Life
Painting Series, 2014-2015

Suspended Life is a monochromatic meditation on fragility, extinction, and the silent traces of human impact on the natural world. The series centers on endangered animals, depicted in landscapes altered by climate change—spaces marked not by natural evolution, but by irreversible loss.

The concept of suspension is central to the work: each animal appears caught in a moment between presence and disappearance. These are not scenes of action, but of stillness charged with tension—a pause before vanishing. The bodies hover, isolated, as if the world has shifted beneath them, leaving them weightless in environments no longer able to sustain them.

The human figure remains unseen, but its presence is embedded in every aspect of the landscape: in the fragmentation of habitat, in the desaturation of life, and in the visual residue of ecological collapse. The monochrome palette intensifies this sense of stasis and erosion—stripping the scene down to what remains when biodiversity falters.

Suspended Life does not document loss; it embodies its atmosphere. It asks us to confront the emotional and ethical dimension of extinction—not as a distant event, but as a condition unfolding in real time, shaped by our shared complicity.
