“Promises”
features a series of characters with heads made of tropical forests, forests
which have been cut and burnt by large corporations for capitalist purposes. Although
we are aware that Indonesia is a lung supplying the world with oxygen, due to
economic interests the lungs have been deteriorated and destroyed. The figure
in the painting also has the word “prosperity” tattooed on his chest to point
to the fact that we no longer can manifest prosperity as the resources we have
are slowly exhausting and disappearing.
