OKUDA “Mother Natura” / Dispatch From Isolation # 60

Have you noticed that the air and sky in your city is cleaner than you ever remember it to be? Car traffic is down, plane traffic is scant. Many polluting industries have had no workers in the last few months either. Mother Nature is happy.

One wonders about the connection between our outright slaughter of nature and the fact that this virus is wreaking havoc on our physical health and economies. Mother Nature inserts herself into every conversation eventually – what fools we were to think that we were separate from her.

Street Artist OKUDA San Miguel says that he has been inspired by Mother Nature in his new commission for that natural oasis Las Vegas. Creating 3 new sculptures and a mural inspired by Mayahuel, the Mexican goddess of agave and fertility, his fragmented pop surrealist dreams will great guests and invite them to gamble the future at this luxury resort. He created this installation in coordination with Justkids founder and curator Charlotte Dutoit and he’s calling it “Mother Natura”.
