About this artwork
The new normal is a large scale landscape painting that depicts the gradual invasion of urbanization over natural world while it also explores how natural disasters disproportionately affect people/nations of low socio economic status. Natural Bangladeshi landscape is gradually being subdued and replaced by citified objects such as traffic signs, poles. Bangladesh is suffering from severe floods and rising sea levels. Antora’s intention is to show…
how despite contributing to less carbon emission natural disasters have been disproportionately hit the poor hardest. On the other hand some wealthy individuals may romanticize natural disasters as a source of thrill or an opportunity to invest in rebuilding efforts. The entire work is a stylized, exaggerated rendition of common Bangladeshi flood sceneries. The pink neon color water body symbolizes how the disaster is not completely natural but Man- made just like the color, how gradually Bangladesh is submerging as the sea level rises.
