Solastalgia

Solastalgia is a solo exhibition where Maya that showcases her paintings, sculptures, and performance pieces, all of which have been curated according to the Kübler-Ross model of grief. The exhibition is an exploration of solastalgia, a term coined by Dr. Glen Albrecht, which refers to the distress experienced by individuals as a result of the negative impacts of climate change on their sense of home and livelihood. The exhibition serves as a personal journey of Maya, sharing the emotions she experiences living in a world undergoing drastic climate change, and aims to provide a relatable emotional toolkit to bridge the gap between the immense impacts of climate change and everyday emotions and experiences.
