"The Weight of Change" explores the dynamic and often contentious relationship between humanity and the natural world. Inspired by a walk around Bellever Tor in Dartmoor, this abstract composition evokes a sense of timelessness, as if the narrative could unfold across centuries. The central rectangle serves as a portal—offering a view to either the past or the future, depending on the perspective of the viewer. It symbolizes reflection and anticipation, a reminder of the impermanence of human impact juxtaposed against nature’s enduring presence.

The textured black rectangles can be interpreted as markers of stability, tombstones, or ancient standing stones, anchoring the composition while leaving their meaning open to personal interpretation. They stand in quiet contrast to the vibrancy of the landscape, perhaps hinting at humanity’s desire to leave a legacy. The swirling layers of paint and bold colors reflect the intensity of human activity, while the muted tones and softer elements evoke the enduring calm of nature.

"The Weight of Change" is both a celebration and a caution—encouraging viewers to consider their footprint on Earth and humanity’s lasting legacy. It asks us to honor the vastness of time and embrace the responsibility of conservation. This piece is an invitation to look inward and outward, to appreciate the beauty of what is and what could be.
