3/7 _ _ _ << | >> _ _ _ 07/09/2007 Felix

In this work I used aluminium foil which I folded it several times and then I unfolded and burned it, so I was able to write a small text.
I put this piece in a black frame so it looks more like a monumental/formal sign that makes this testimony more visible.
Also I made a music CD playing in the gallery with a song having in the title the word ‘Hurricane’.
The text I took it from the internet. I surfed through a lot of news websites, search engines, etc. and

I finally decided to put this paragraph from different articles and news about ‘Felix Hurricane’
The storm hit land in north-eastern Nicaragua. Dozens of people are still missing and rescuers are searching the open seas and remote jungle. Tens of thousands of people have been left homeless.

That is another sign of climate consequences and the global warming effect

My opinion is that we must have awareness and personal view about things and be responsible. Only from a responsible personal view about the world we are able to do things about us. In other words we need to go forwards not backwards.
