The Concept
“We Are Earth Sick” serves as both a call to action and a poignant reflection on the current state of our environment. Artists from various backgrounds have come together to express their concerns, hopes, and visions for a sustainable future. Through their work, they confront the realities of climate change, pollution, and habitat destruction while also celebrating the beauty and resilience of the natural world.
Featured Artists
This exhibition features a curated selection of 54 international artists from around the globe, both emerging and established, each bringing their unique perspective to the theme. From immersive installations that invite viewers to engage with the environment physically to striking paintings that capture the fragility of nature, the diverse mediums in this exhibition encourage reflection and dialogue.

Engage with installations that transform the gallery into a living ecosystem, reminding us of our interconnectedness with the earth.
Paintings
The painting section of the exhibition features a range of styles, from abstract interpretations of climate change to detailed landscapes that showcase the beauty of untouched nature. Each piece acts as a visual narrative, urging viewers to consider the impact of human activity on the planet.
Photography
The photography section captures moments of both despair and hope. Through powerful imagery, photographers document the stark realities of environmental degradation alongside the resilience of nature and communities fighting for change. These photographs serve as a reminder of the beauty we stand to lose and the strength found in grassroots movements.
Community Engagement
In addition to the artworks, “We Are Earth Sick” will host a series of workshops, panel discussions, and guided tours aimed at fostering community dialogue around environmental issues. We aim to inspire action and advocacy through art, empowering attendees to reflect on their roles in nurturing our planet.
