Seawalls Gisborne
/Here's my final price for seawalls in Gisborne - "End of the Century" by supporting ARTivist @crackedink (England) for @pangeaseed Foundation latest edition of our international public art movement, @seawalls_ Artists for Oceans.
.
Location: Gisborne, New Zealand
.
.
Artist statement: "One fifth of the world population could be displaced by rising sea levels by the end of the century. The reality is we are going to have more people fighting for space on a smaller landmass if we do not act on climate change now.
.
If we do not educate individuals and communities to change consumption habits, the results are going to be catastrophic.
.
My mural is an image that is very simple to translate. The two main characters and the city under water watch massive balloons of CO2 being released into the atmosphere to represent the greenhouse gas emissions from industry and transpiration."
