Charcoal, Torn Paper |4'x8'
This artwork conveys a poignant message about the pressing environmental crisis facing humanity. It depicts Mother Nature as a contemplative force, standing at a pivotal moment where she must make a profound decision about our future. Centuries of unbridled resource exploitation, meant to be shared equitably among all species, have led us to a critical juncture with far-reaching consequences for all life on Earth.
Within the drawing, Mother Nature contemplates the drastic notion of resetting life through complete destruction. However, her gaze lands upon a lone injured bird of prey, evoking a powerful sense of empathy and compassion. This moment encourages us to reflect on whether, despite our imperfections, we too may be deserving of her mercy. It serves as a poignant reminder of our collective responsibility to safeguard our planet and underscores the imperative for united action to secure a sustainable and harmonious future for all living beings.
