Industry vs Nature

"Industry vs Nature" by Salimeh Ghezel is a compelling mixed media artwork on cardboard, created in 2020, that juxtaposes the natural world with symbols of industrialization. The painting depicts a dense forest of trees with an unusual, wheel-like structure embedded within, symbolizing the encroachment of industry into nature. A solitary house is perched atop a pillar that resembles a tree, evoking the sense of displacement and transformation. This imagery subtly suggests the artist’s message: the gradual replacement of trees, plants, and greenery with the rigid structures of iron and cement as industrialization advances. Measuring 43 cm by 35 cm, Industrial Roots serves as both a thought-provoking commentary on environmental change and a visually intriguing addition to any collection. This artwork invites the viewer to reflect on the impact of industrial progress on the natural landscape, blending elements of beauty with a subtle, cautionary tone.
