This art piece is meant to take people back to any experiences they may have had of hazy skies during the various fires that have happened throughout the Bay Area. It’s meant to invite people to reflect on what our skies and waters will look like in the coming years thanks to the exploitative relationship capitalism has sustained with the Earth.
Most of all though, this painting is meant to ignite some hope and faith in not only herbal medicines, but in our abilities to nurture ‘the collective’. The healing of our planet is connected to the healing of our communities. Just as Chevron is occupying land here in Richmond, it is also occupying land in Palestine.
It’s time that we let go of individualism, banish colonialism from occupying our minds, and instead share and exchange love in all its many forms.
