As the human-centric world dominates.

 

In “Strange Strangers,” the artwork frames a snake looping in an infinite cycle, trying to adapt into our unnatural world. The snake attempts to camouflage in plain sight as a human to survive. But its efforts are criticised by the increasing presence of people, leaving the snake nowhere to turn.

 

To avoid becoming detached from the natural world, it is essential we shift our focus from anthropocentric ideals to a balanced harmony with nature. The use of fabric and embroidery creates a tapestry telling this story of the snakes strive for recognition.

 

“Strange Strangers” was created in response to reading a story about a family burning snake eggs for their own safety. While the mother snake weeps for her children she explains to the humans they are a species without venom. The family is unremorseful.
