Fagaye Seck
Agony, 2024
Acrylic and watercolor on paper
18 × 24 inches
The prolonged effects of climate change and the devastating impact of human actions. Earth is personified with an abdominal wound that refuses to heal, symbolizing continuous trauma. By depicting Earth as a wounded female form, Seck suggests that the planet's suffering goes beyond physical damage. The injured abdomen metaphorically represents Earth's inability to nurture or sustain life, a woman unable to give birth or properly nourish herself.
