Visitors to Rockefeller State Park Preserve’s Art in the Park will have the opportunity to experience the compelling work of New York–based photographer Nadira Gupta, whose images bring the beauty and fragility of the natural world into sharp focus. Coordinated by the park's gallery curator Lisa D'Amico, this year’s exhibition highlights a photographer who challenges viewers to look more closely at their relationship with the environment.
This outdoor installation features a series of dynamic art flags displayed at the park’s entrance throughout the summer. These bold, flowing pieces transform her photography into immersive public art, greeting visitors with movement, color, and meaning.
At the heart of Gupta’s practice is a commitment to wildlife conservation and social awareness. Her work emphasizes the importance of protecting ecosystems while also acknowledging the broader human impact on the environment. Through her lens, she explores themes of balance, responsibility, and the shared future of all living beings.
“I hope to invoke our shared responsibility to preserve the hope and beauty in our wildlife and environment,” Gupta says. This ethos resonates throughout the exhibition, offering not only a visual experience but also a call to action.
Whether you’re an art enthusiast, a nature lover, or simply looking for inspiration, Nadira Gupta’s work at Art in the Park is not to be missed at the Rockefeller State Park Preserve, located at 125 Phelps Way in Pleasantville, New York.
