#ausfires

Australia was already heavily taking fires for months before “bushfire season”, help was needed for months with no action, the air was already shit, houses have been lost and increasingly getting burned for months like this entire bushfire situation could have been preventable or less hazardous but due to the actions of our government and authorities; we have landed in the current situation we are now.

I’m going to post a summary post after this, so that folks can know what’s going on.

Shibari baby work in progress... based on model: @bonnyzahara - I drew this portrait initially during inktober last year, using ink... I wanted to reuse her, so I cut her out and stuck her onto the deck and am painting it up in acrylic around her. Fire has always been an interesting one for me. Although it can be catastrophically destructive..it also, particularly in Australia, is a big part of regeneration and growth. . . . #firesign #fireregeneration #ausfires #darksurrealism #weirdoart #baldgirl #skateboardart #darkart #creepyart #missdarq #femaleartist #australianartist #paintingvideo #artvideo (at Melbourne, Victoria, Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9z9XJpn36x/?igshid=19mvg9cab9tdu

No words or pictures can accurately express the trauma of a bushfire surrounding your home. The fear for your life as helplessness and entrapement consume your every fiber and thought is almost unbearable... . Living in the rainforest hinterland of Australia's 6th largest city on the country's highly populated east coast I firsthand experienced 2 bushfire evacuations within 2 months last year. And nothing in the past 10 years I've been resising here prepared me for this: . 🔥 waking up to evacuation messages in the middle of the night 🔥 feeling sheer pure panic as I smell choking amount of smoke outside 🔥 experiencing hyperventilation that brings me to my knees as I force myself to pack my valuables according to my evacuation plan, because all that surrounds me is darkness, smoke and uncertainty 🔥 joining the car convoy of our neighbours fleeing into town as there is only road down the mountain leading into town 🔥 the sound of our walls and windows shaking as water bombers endlessly fly over our house as if it was war 🔥 and so much more that I can't relive in my memories . Australia has been on fire for 6 months and there is no sign of stopping 📛 The destruction of our unique flora & fauna is inexpressable 😢 Our fire fighter heroes are dying at the fire fronts, and our Prime Minister literally turned his back on our people! . For me, the fires are over (for now). For so many others they are not 💔 .
