His work includes paintings\, drawings\, and hand-embroidered cotton/can vas tapestries. Sundos uses recurring characters throughout his art to exp lore themes of self-discovery\, self-acceptance\, and the duality of human existence. His paintings and drawings depict subjects that appear detache d and apathetic\, reflecting the fatigue seen in society. In contrast\, hi s embroidered pieces often feature "dancing figures" and imagined landscap es\, evoking a sense of unity and hope for the future. Through his art\, S undos seeks to convey the significance of human touch and the value of eve ry human life.\n\nAbout Field Meridians Nature School\n\nFM Nature School is a project to co-create an arts-based urban ecology curriculum that refl ects our neighborhood in Brooklyn—aiming to generate tools for resilienc e.\n\nField Meridians is an artist collective committed to strengthening l ocal food ecologies.
