EXHIBITION
WOOD YOU RATHER BE HAPPY?February 24 - April 20, 2023
Alserkal Avenue - Firetti Contemporary
WOOD you rather be happy? is an epic of Art and Nature coming together. Bringing together six international artists, using wood as their medium, each artist explores a different aspect of our relationship with Nature. Together, they highlight that our planet might be contorted, bent in infinite ways, yet it is still magnificent and vital to our happiness.
The exhibition is a tribute to the beauty and fragility of our planet, reminding us of the need for a collective consciousness. We are all part of a vast Earth, interdependent and interconnected, and there cannot be individual wellbeing without Nature’s wellbeing. This is not only a moral imperative, but a prerequisite to a sustainable future for all. We must tune our senses, appreciate beauty, and activate our compassion for Nature. Being connected to Nature is essential to living a happier, more worthwhile, and sustainable life.
Wood you rather be happy? is an ode to nature… take a walk in the woods, you will come out taller than the trees.
