we do not inherit the futureby *KatDiestel

Traditional Art / Collage

the cardboard square can be turned and has the following text:

"In 1978 the Amoco Cadiz went aground off Brittany, releasing 230.000 tons of light crude oil.

Over 200 km of Brittany coast was contaminated during the earlier phase of the incident.

A week later, a further 100 km of beach were contaminated and a large part of the beaches already cleaned were recontaminated.

At least 8 tankers were caught using the slick as 'cover' to illegally dump oil." (From the cover of Robert Plant's "The Fate of Nations")

We make it. Usually wrongly.

yeah, right.

This is a hell of a whimsical feeling between color and placement of images,
and while that's true, the purpose of the message seems to stick out even more.
A sickening awareness with ideals of a better environment.
Comparative visuals hit things home harder, I think.

i always love your insight in these matters
and indeed hitting the thing home was what i wanted most of all
these birds are still doing semi-alright, as it is only water instead of the thick, asphyxiating, glibbery oil
just like now off new zealand
and again and again
makes breathing real hard somehow
