We Stood Like Trees

Medium: Acrylic on Canvas,
Size 6.5X5 Ft,
The work (We Stood Like Trees) draws on archival references from the historic Chipko movement, where communities came together to protect trees, juxtaposed with the contemporary environmental crisis. Despite decades of effort, the situation remains strikingly similar—trees continue to be cut, and ecological degradation persists. By digitally treating and merging these photographic references, the piece creates a visual interplay between past and present, leaving the viewer with a lingering question about our collective responsibility and the urgency of action.
