Christopher Miller’s paintings of potted plants suggest humanity’s effort to nurture and reconnect with the environment. These pieces offer a tender perspective on the human desire to coexist with nature, framing it as an act of regeneration rather than domination.

Loose brushstrokes, rich textures, and raw, unfiltered emotions were central to my selections. Mirabel Wigon and Jason Rafferty’s expressive paintings embody this ethos, using dynamic light and layered forms to evoke emotional landscapes that feel as untamed and powerful as the natural world itself. Their works reveal a sense of freedom and complexity, echoing the spiritual and emotional connections that bind us to the earth.

In Srishti Dass’s intricate drawings, we see the exploration of micro and macro systems of nature, reflecting centuries-old ecosystems that humans study and replicate in architecture and design. Her work speaks to the larger cycles of life and humanity’s efforts to understand and adapt to them, offering a quiet meditation on the balance between admiration and intervention.

This exhibition also reflects the duality of our relationship with nature—the ways we oscillate between a desire to break away from it and a yearning to belong within it. Some works revel in the sheer awe of the natural world, while others grapple with humanity's attempts to tame and control it. Together, they form a collective meditation on interconnectedness: land and light, body and spirit, emotion and form.

The textures and gestures within these works invite viewers to pause, reflect, and engage—not only with the art but also with the broader questions it raises about our shared experience of the world. Through these pieces, I hope to offer a space for contemplation and connection, where art becomes a bridge between the internal and the external, the human and the natural.
