Artist Statement
The artwork is about human aggressive attitude towards natural resources for economical purposes. This is intended in a double way as mere privatization and as the presumption of ownership towards lands, the environment and creatures’ life, with all the direct and indirect consequences.
With a marked connection with the place and its structure, the image ambiguously wants to involve the viewer on many levels, evoking the feeling of a balance that’s easily forgotten, of irresponsible prevarication, of a damage that’s well known but consciously not considered.
The Focus
Overexploitation of the ocean for financial gain
