In 'Symbiotic Utopia,' Agus Putu Suyadnya envisions a future where tropical ecosystems serve as havens for human interaction with nature, portrayed through surreal imagery. Featuring astronaut figures surrounded by vibrant foliage, Suyadnya's works create a contrast between environmental beauty and the unsettling implications of the climate crisis. The artist emphasizes a critical message: humanity's survival hinges on nature, while the natural world persists independently of human existence. His exhibition at Sapar Contemporary continues to question the perceived dominance of humans over nature.
Humans cannot live without nature, whereas the natural world without mankind will continue to survive. So why, as humans, do we think we have the upper hand?
The suited character cradles a chimpanzee à la notable conservationist Jane Goodall and waves a large bubble wand to create trails of iridescent orbs.
