Friends’ Shadow and Circular Childhood use everyday scenes to reflect on the growing global water crisis and the environmental impacts of climate change. Through symbolic imagery, the works capture moments of childhood shaped by scarcity, where landscapes marked by dryness and labor become indicators of a changing climate. In Friends’ Shadow, a child moves through a narrow brickfield passage, accompanied only by the shadow of companionship, suggesting absence, resilience, and adaptation. The images draw attention to the gradual but urgent effects of global warming, where access to water and sustainable environments becomes increasingly uncertain. By grounding climate issues in human experience, the works call for awareness and collective action.
