Universal Territory, 2020

collage

18.5 x 18.5 inches

Universal Territory was created during COVID-19 lockdown, a time when the entire world was isolated and people were afraid of each other. I started to imagine a universal territory, a world with no borders, a land that belongs to everyone and doesn’t segregate individuals but builds bridges instead, a place that allows a deeper connection with nature, spirituality, and human behavior. This piece has no beginning or end. No matter where you start, you can see how elements interact, creating multiple connections contained in one world.
