The Story behind All Consuming

This painting explores our complex relationship with the natural world, focusing on the impacts of overfishing and overconsumption. The fish, symbolising nature’s power and beauty as well as its vulnerability under human exploitation, consumes the human form to highlight how overfishing disrupts marine ecosystems and threatens our own survival.

With only the human face visible, the painting prompts us to question whether we would eat fish if they had human-like faces, challenging our ethical views on consumption. The human figure within the fish underscores our deep evolutionary connection to the sea and our shared origins.

This work calls for a reevaluation of our role in the ecosystem and emphasizes the urgent need for sustainable practices to protect the delicate balance of life.
