Float, double

This sculptural Earth Painting rises in soft relief, forming a subtle ridge across the surface — like a quiet mountain shaped by time. Its three-dimensionality evokes the landscapes women traverse when rebuilding their lives: uneven, layered, shifting. Ridge speaks to the thresholds we cross, the strength it takes to rise — and the beauty of shaping a new horizon from what once was broken.

More than a number
The numbering of these Earth Paintings serves as a reflection on the dehumanising processes refugees endure, where individuals are reduced to statistics instead of being recognised for their unique stories and inherent humanity.

Displaying your Earth Painting
When deciding where to display your Earth Painting: seek the light. The natural pigments respond beautifully to shifting light conditions. Morning light offers a crisp, soft glow; evening light brings out the warmth and depth of the pigments. You may therefore notice that the Earth Painting appears in a different 'colour'. Take your time to find a place where you can observe the interplay of light and shadow on the Earth Painting — a place where its textures and colours don’t fall flat.
