"Both They (Taranki Falls) and They (Gomukh) reference geological bodies that have been granted environmental personhood, a conservation strategy that legally designates these entities the status of a person with rights enforceable by law. Ascribing human status to nature reveals and muddies the distinction between human and non-human and highlights the range that anthropocentric logic reaches in order to sustain an anthropo-friendly ecology. Depicting liquid landscapes in their active and morphing natural and personhood states, these two paintings conjure the inescapability of the artificial as woven into earthly matter; into the air, water, earth as well as the flesh of human and more-than-human. The various planes, plates, and concepts collapse onto the painted surface obscuring the lines between human, nature and artifice." — Pearl C. Hsiung
