You've Gone and Ruined It (2024)

You’ve gone and ruined it is an artwork that explores how humans knowingly destroy the planet they inhabit, leaving a mark that will negatively affect our ecosphere for the foreseeable future. In this artwork, I have imbedded my own frustration and anger towards the destruction that takes place, and against the people accountable, that get away with their crimes against nature.

It involves an empty canvas placed on an easel ready to be painted. On this easel an image of a beautiful landscape is slowly forming, as if an invisible entity is standing right in front of the canvas, painting. After the picture is painted, the invisible entity looks at its creation, and is unhappy with the result. After taking a minute to decide what to do with it, the artist picks up their brush, and destroys the beautiful landscape by placing a large oil refinery in the middle of this beautiful piece of nature, ruining the landscape.
