World on Fire – Baby Orangutan – SOLD

World on Fire – SOLD
Word on Fire is a powerful graphite drawing capturing the raw emotion of a baby orangutan gazing upward in dismay. Its wide, sorrowful eyes reflect a haunting innocence, as if searching for answers in a world consumed by destruction. The background, an abstract representation of burning textures, adds a striking contrast to the delicate strands of its hair and expressive features. Rendered in fine graphite on Arches 300gsm hot-pressed paper, the piece blends realism with emotion, telling a story of loss, fragility, and the devastating impact of deforestation. It’s a visual plea for awareness—urging us to acknowledge the consequences of a world on fire.
