THE FORCE OF NATURE
We humans think of ourselves as
supreme beings in absolute
control of our destiny and our
surroundings. We live with a false
sense of security, only to be
awakened by Mother Nature’s
fury. After having seen the
ravaged coast of Thailand and the
hurricane that affected the
southern States, I decided to
create a sculpture dedicated to
Mother Nature. This would be
reminiscent of the early statues
made as peace offerings to the
gods in the hope of quenching
their anger. In essence, people
are not very different today from
the people who lived thousands
of years ago. We still devote
ourselves to symbols in order to
escape our destiny.
