Thinh Dinh - "Yellow Clouds & Green Skies V.1"

The landscape is awash in an industrial haze, with the marbling a metaphor for oil slicks. Through the smog, a refinery belches noxious chemicals and toxins upwards into the atmosphere while pumping "forever chemicals" waste into the creek. The jungle of silver smokestacks and catwalks tower above the intersection, visible flames flaring from the top of the refinery's pipe stacks. Surfing against forces of gravity, a pair of birds flap their wings. In the distance, a cat surveys its scenery. 

"Yellow Clouds and Green Skies V.1" is comprised of a large bowl printed on marbled jute paper and depicts reflections on the SUNCOR refinery, environmental racism and how communities of color are disproportionately affected by pollution.
