“This piece of work is part of my hunting for gold series, which draws inspiration from artisanal gold panning, a practice that involves using manual tools to search for gold, where the pursuit of gold often comes at the expense of the environment and the health of those involved, symbolizing the interplay between human survival and the impact on the environment.”
