Nature vs Future

Shyama Golden is an artist, illustrator and designer with a background in oil painting, now working from Texas, USA. Patterns, people and nature are common elements in her work, in which hyphenated-Americans often play a protagonist role. Shyama says: “Nature vs Future is a portrait of a fictional young woman who represents the global majority and Indigenous people who are not only disproportionately affected by climate change, but actively speaking out and organising against the ravages of extractive capitalism.”
