We [humans] think of ourselves as the supreme beings, above all others and in absolute control of our destiny and our surroundings. We live in a false sense of security only to be awakened by Mother Nature’s fury, almost to remind us of her presence and our responsibility towards her child [The Earth].
After having seen the ravaged coast of Thailand and the Hurricane that affected the Southern States I decided to make a sculpture dedicated to Mother Nature, reminiscent of the first statues made in honor of the Gods as a piece offering in the hopes that it would quench their anger. In essence we are not much different today than we were thousands of years ago. We are still devoted to symbols in order to elude our destiny.
