ABOUT THE ARTWORK

Pink fog blocking the setting sun completely, juxtaposed over an opaque sea depicts a future sunset. Oil spills, deforestation, coral bleaching, air and light pollution. The trifecta of post-industrial human activity. Overconsumption and compliance, shepherding us into the anthropocene. The discoloration and changed viscosity of a future where even the sunset has been painted over and the seas have thickened and changed in flow. In contrast to the dystopian subject, I also wanted to depict the indestructible trifecta of nature, light and energy; unfavoring beauty which can be found in proliferation and destruction alike.

Elijana Forto

Bosnia and Herzegovina

Born in Sarajevo, Bosnia in 1987 years before the siege, I began to create art at a very young age. A coping mechanism eventually became my passion and I have been drawing and painting since the age of 5. Self taught, my work often and unintentionally depicts themes of transitional melancholy and a permanent emotional state of suspension created by loss and displacement.
