The Light We Share

Merrica Fernando

Germany

This piece celebrates the beauty and vibrancy of our planet through colour and shape, while exploring the many ways we connect with and care for the natural world. Our relationships with nature are often learned and nurtured through others: from parents to children, teachers to students, through cultural and spiritual traditions, or simply through moments of wonder, such as hugging a tree or connecting with an animal. These bonds carry knowledge, appreciation and love across generations. The piece celebrates these connections and the idea that as long as our love for the living world remains, there is hope. Created using acrylic and mixed media on canvas.
