PÒPCHENCO
WALLS-FORESTS

15 October — 15 November 2020

PÒPCHENCO
WALLS-FORESTS

16+

A new layer  "WALLS-FORESTS" by the artist PÒPCHENCO has appeared on the WALL. For her work she chose the global problem of death and destruction of forests around the world. 

"The WALLS-FORESTS project is dedicated to one of the main problems of humanity: forest fires that occur to a greater or lesser extent all over the world. The project was approved back in early 2019, and in just a year and a half mankind has again experienced several major forest fires, such as wildfires in Siberia, fires in Australia and California.

This wall is a dedication and a warning about possible consequences, such as the death of all life, so there are no colors on the wall. There are only black and white sides, a desert boundless field of conditional burned trees, which have been transformed into obelisks among the white desert from the ashes, which has no end," - comments PÒPCHENCO its work.
