ART: MAYA KACHRA
Title: Untitled Medium: Salt, Water Dimensions: 9" x 9" x 12" Year of completion: 2021
Maya Kachra is majoring in Contemporary Art at Etobicoke School of the Arts in Toronto, Canada. Her artwork has been in multiple publications and exhibitions including Arts Etobicoke, Us Gallery Contemporary, and Loosen Art. Maya currently works in photography, sculpture and mixed media. Artist Statement This sculpture work has been hand-carved and naturally eroded by water through a 63-hour process, as a way to let go from past experiences, reform, and find my own path. This piece is made using salt and water, creating an interesting tension as both are destructive and purifying materials, as well as being crucial for all life to exist. Through this natural erosion process, my artwork also explores our complex relationship with nature and the lasting impacts we have caused to the environment around us.
