Artist Statement
-
Rising seas come at the cost of all living things. In the work “Overwatered,” artist Odessa Amaryllis explores how sea level rise disrupts and damages ecosystems. This representation comes to life through a collection of photographs demonstrating the gradual deterioration of an arrangement of dried plants under prolonged exposure to water. Each subsequent photo becomes increasingly disordered and decayed, serving as a cautionary reminder of the devastating and permanent consequences of climate change. The art invites viewers to contemplate not only the visual change of the floral arrangement but also the larger transformation humanity must undergo to protect the future of our planet’s biodiversity.
