Artist’s statement:

What has the Earth given us, and what have we given it in return? We cut down trees, kill animals, and pollute our lands and seas — then expect the Earth to shield us from the earthquakes, floods, and tsunamis that follow. We decorate our homes with wooden furniture and dress in clothes from top brands, speaking intellectually about the world even as we discard non-recyclable plastic and bury it, along with residual oil, deep in the sea — deceiving ourselves into believing everything is fine. Are we truly human? Why is our behavior so unkind, and why do our egoism and greed persist?
