Artwork
The picture contains a drawing of the Statue of Liberty inspired by an old photo and an obscured image of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. The work may keep viewers so absorbed that they feel like being in a world with no one around. The indistinct and iconic images disclose the relation between traditional belief and reality.
There are wildlands on one side and paved roads on the other. We have built a wall separating them. The work indicates a relationship, a conflict between cities and the wild. When the cities are occupying the land of the wild, the wild is snatching back what once belonged to it, giving us a painful reminder of the necessity to coexist peacefully with nature in the same place.
