Indian artists are increasingly addressing climate anxiety and environmental grief through their work, offering a way to process ecological crises when statistics and advocacy fall short. Exhibitions like the Kochi-Muziris Biennale feature pieces such as RB Shajith's 'Wiping Out,' which reframes forests as ecosystems to be revered, not exploited, serving as a plea to prevent further damage. Other artists, like Santanu Debnath, use their art to lament the declining role of natural water bodies in communal life, visually mourning the loss of connection with nature.
