A sculptural installation by award-winning Shoalhaven artist Akira Kamada which explores the impact of human behaviour on the natural environment and the true value of nature.
Akira Kamada won first place in the Outdoor Sculpture prize in Sculpture in the Valley 2023 for his work ‘Birth.’ The judges described the work as simultaneously physically present and ephemeral. He is inspired by the subtle beauty and complexity of the natural world, and a central concern of his work is the impact of human behaviour on the natural environment.
