Leaves

Selected work 

(ink/ pastel)

These drawings are not just some colorful leaves of trees.They are testimonies of how humanity treats nature, influences the climate and pollutes the environment. Trees react to this and we see that in the leaves.  And no, they are not ordinary autumn leaves either. They are drawn from real examples, fallen from the trees in the months of July and August in 2023 and 2024.

In 2021 I endorsed the #TreeToo manifesto of Etienne Verbist as a former archaeobotanist, to express my deep concerns about nature and human actions against the planet and our environment.
