Artist's Statement
My drawing points to global warming. A worrisome issue that should give us feelings of unease. Although climate change is natural, it is not natural the fast pace of successions of climate-related events. Many climatic ominous events got me thinking for a while now. With this in mind a symbol of the industrial revolution, the Eiffel tower, was my starting line for this drawing. Since the tower’s opening, technology has evolved into a magnificent machinery of complex networks that is key to our survival; we rejoice in it. But this machinery will be drowned by global warming unless there is a change in our current paradigm. Even those who hold a secure place in this system are at the risk of uncertainty. The balance is fragile. “The Rising Waters” points to a clear case of “Living on the Edge.”
