Feature Assemblage Piece: A Tribute to Progress and Sustainability 

Art at the Intersection of Humanity, Technology, and Global Goals 

This acclaimed assemblage piece stands as the centerpiece of a collection that weaves together texture, emotion, and intention, creating a multidimensional experience for its viewers. Developed within the first 100 days of the new American President Donald Trump in her New Orleans studio, this work speaks to the dualities of peace and pain, technology and minerals, reflecting the inexorable continuity of life amidst transformation. 

Inspired by Global Conversations and Personal Milestones 

The creation of this artwork coincided with a profound moment in the artist's life. While invited to speak at the prestigious World Economic Forum in Davos in January 2025, the artist chose to prioritize the healthy birth of her first child. Though absent from the forum, the piece emerged as a tribute to the critical conversations and initiatives she holds dear, particularly her work with the United Nations. It encapsulates the essence of these dialogues, merging personal legacy with global ambition. 

​

Representation of Sustainable Development Goals 

An integral aspect of this masterpiece is its connection to the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Eight of the seventeen goals are represented through the deliberate use of color and material, underscoring the artwork's mission to provoke thought and inspire action on key global challenges: 

• Green: Signifying Health and Wellbeing (#3). 

• Blue: Representing Clean Water and Life Below Water (#6 and #14). 

• Yellow: Symbolizing Clean Energy and Sustainable Communities (#7 and #11). 

• Gold: Highlighting Responsible Consumption (#12). 

• Red: Denoting Quality Education and Economic Growth (#4 and #8). 

 

Each color is meticulously chosen, demonstrating the artist's deep commitment to advancing the SDGs. The materials—ranging from copper and computer chips to wood, canvas, crystals, and spray paint—further amplify the piece's complexity, blending organic and technological elements. 

A Masterpiece of Thoughtful Craftsmanship 

The textures and materials used in the assemblage create a layered narrative, challenging the viewer to embrace the juxtaposition of human ingenuity and natural harmony. From the shimmering metals to the tactile wood and acrylics, every element invites reflection on the interconnectedness of humanity's past, present, and future. 

This work embodies the artist's dedication to bridging her personal experiences with her broader vision for societal progress. By transforming her absence at Davos into a powerful artistic statement, she channels the essence of global discussions into a lasting tribute that reverberates with themes of resilience, creativity, and hope. 

A Legacy of Vision and Impact 

As the feature of this collection, this assemblage piece is not just an artwork; it is a testimony to the profound impact of art in advancing dialogue and change. It serves as a reminder that creativity knows no boundaries, uniting diverse realms—peace and pain, technology and minerals—under the banner of sustainable progress. 

The artist’s choice to focus on the birth of her child while simultaneously developing this masterpiece is a poignant reminder of the balance between personal life and global responsibilities. Her work invites viewers to reflect on their roles within these narratives, ensuring that the Sustainable Development Goals remain not just an abstract framework but a vibrant call to action for all.
