Vidhya Srijesh- Veiled Sanctuary

The deer in 'Veiled Sanctuary' symbolizes the quiet refuge that nature provides. the background is made with mixed media materials and handmade collage papers crafted from discarded materials, transforming what was once waste into something beautiful and meaningful.

This process mirrors an important conservation principle: protecting and restoring what might otherwise be lost. Deer depend on healthy forests and natural corridors for shelter, food, and movement, yet these habitats continue to shrink as landscapes change.

By incorporating reclaimed materials into the work, I hope to highlight the connection between responsible stewardship and environmental preservation. 'Veiled Sanctuary' celebrates the delicate relationship between wildlife and habitat, reminding us that even small acts of conservation can contribute to a healthier future for both.
