Acrylics, 80 cm by 60cm
This is a surreal acrylic painting that shows a large, golden-brown eye breaking through textured bark, partly hidden by green leaves. The eye gazes from a dark, circular void surrounded by a swirling gray and copper mist that symbolizes smoke from environmental pollution, suggesting nature itself is watching the impact of climate change and human activity, urging awareness of the ecological wounding of the planet.
Sharon G. Murithi. NATURE'S SPLIT SOUL. 2026. Acrylics. 80 cm by 60cm
The painting shows a split face: one side lush with green leaves & white flowers, the other side cracked brown with a tear, set against a sky of blue clouds and fiery orange flames, with a river flowing below. The piece visualizes the conflict between a thriving, natural world (green foliage, flowers) and a damaged, drying environment (cracked earth, tear, fiery sky). It symbolizes how climate change splits ecosystems, causing some areas to flourish while others suffer drought, heat, and loss, represented by the weeping, broken side and the river that hints at water scarcity and runoff from extreme weather. The contrast urges awareness of the fragile balance between environmental health and the destructive impacts of warming and habitat degradation.
