Artist's note
My aim regarding nature is to save nature. Which has become a global issue today. The human is not worried at all. To fulfill his day by day increasing desires, he is harming nature and its animals. Awareness of such human tendencies is the aim of my prints. In this print of mine, I have made nature another subject and have shown the Brazilian Amazon forest fire and the impact it has on wildlife in my original style. Due to human selfishness, 739 square meters of lush green forest in the Amazon was cut down and cleared. Which is included in the world's densest rain forests. Half of the entire forest was reduced to ashes in the fire. It has been shown through the animals that they all live in different places, but humans have established their authority by breaking the boundaries of those places and these innocent people have had their lives taken away. Don't tell this pain to anyone. Man does not hear the screams of these creatures to fulfill his selfishness. Therefore, in my print I have shown the impression of indifference towards the atrocities committed by humans on animals and birds. In which animals at some places are running away from the fire, at some places they are looking helplessly at the burning forest, at some places they are narrating their pain to nature.
Seeing all the wild animals there burning in this fire, their screams became the subject of my print paintings. And my efforts on this subject are continuing.
