YOSHUA OKÓN

Suggestive of the idiom "the elephant in the room", Yoshua Okón’s sculpture alludes to the profound state of denial of human impact on the environment. Characterized as the anthropocene, today’s catastrophic man made effects on our ecosystems is present in the artist’s work as representative of a self-absorbed civilization incapable of self-criticism and submerged in an abyss of consumption tragically heading towards collapse.
