This work responds to the escalating crisis of environmental pollution driven by rapid urbanisation, industrial expansion, and intensive agricultural practices. Through a modular grid of surface-treated ceramic panels, the artist visualises the slow yet pervasive infiltration of heavy metals into soil and aquatic ecosystems—an invisible process with irreversible consequences for life on the planet. The grid structure reinforces a sense of repetition and spread, underscoring how contamination is not isolated but systemic, replicated across regions and environments. Rather than illustrating catastrophe directly, the work adopts a restrained, material-driven language that mirrors the subtlety of environmental degradation—slow, accumulative, and often overlooked. As a visual synthesis of research and artistic interpretation, the work calls attention to the urgency of preventing further heavy metal infiltration and emphasises the need for remediation and ecological responsibility before damage becomes irreversible.
Medium: metallic gold, shino glaze & porcelain slip on black stoneware
