Solastalgia

Solastalgia is a solo exhibition that showcases a combination of Maya's paintings, sculptures, and performance pieces, that have been curated according to the Kübler-Ross model of grief. The exhibition draws inspiration from the term Solastalgia, coined by Dr. Glen Albrecht as the distress experienced by individuals as a result of the negative impacts of climate change on their sense of home and livelihood. The exhibition serves as a personal journey for Maya, sharing the emotions she experiences while living in a world undergoing drastic climate change. Through her artwork, Maya aims to provide a relatable emotional toolkit that bridges the gap between the immense impacts of climate change and everyday emotions and experiences.
