Emerald amidst the ashes

“Emerald Amidst the Ashes” explores the delicate balance between vitality and vulnerability along Tasmania’s Overland Track. The vibrant moss-covered trees in the foreground celebrate nature’s resilience and beauty, while the monochromatic background represents the looming threats of bushfires, land clearing, and climate change. The black-and-white tones evoke the fading memories of an old photograph, symbolizing the fragility of these ecosystems and the risk of their disappearance. This painting serves as a poignant reminder that the lush landscapes we cherish today could one day exist only in photographs and memories.
