Below is a copy of the artist’s statement

“The Eden Before Us”
The theme of this exhibition as plainly as it suggested refers to the pure state of planet earth before the advent of the man species, respecting the planets/vegetations and the animals, the aftermath of man’s incursion; his misplaced priorities, the pollutions, the decay and the prompt need to re-create the once haven of the mother earth.

The focus here is on the smallest unit of the marauders, which is one-person i.e, the individuals in you and me. Hopping that this would not only generate a conscious sanity in self but also in relative relations to others in the environment that envelopes our existences.

Therefore, the advice to learn from the animal species, which is the peculiar content of this exhibit, became one of the paramount corrective measures. It is quite important to pay attention, to listen and to see with the childhood’s innocence and sincerity before the adulthood’s adulterated experiences. Thus the Almighty, the Beneficent has spoken through the scriptures… “go ye and learn from the ant…” to correct our maladies when we had failed our prophets. This remedy though may be a bitter potion but this is by which the physician within us will heal the self-inflicted pain.
