Dutch creative activist Carla Kleekamp exhibits a deep understanding of Eastern and Western traditional art in her delicately detailed symbolic representations of society. She has used many different means and materials to express her environmental concerns, including aquarelles, etchings, drawings, watercolor, and engravings. Still, her primary focus is etchings on rice paper. Kleeklamp portrays the impact of social separation through spatial elements and motifs. In addition, she addresses global economic and environmental issues to bring forth a reflection about how humankind is suppressing, abusing, and exhausting nature by exploiting it in a non-sustainable manner.
