Tenzin Dorje

THE WORLD IS OURS serves as a playful attempt to strike at the notion of a human centric worldview, and instead directs the viewer’s attention to the interconnectedness of all life on earth. The work addresses issues of inequality and environmental degradation that have borne from an emphasis on the individual to possible resolutions that might arise by embracing the commonality and interdependence of life. By displaying the letters on a billboard the work also challenges the plethora of advertisements in our public spaces, which have the power to influence the motivations and behaviour of people that inhabit these spaces.
