Force of Nature: Mother Nature Furiously Spins the Earth
Italian sculptor Lorenzo Quinn sculpted his project Force of Nature I and II, after being a witness to the devastating destruction of hurricanes in Thailand and in the Southern United States. Constructed from bronze, stainless steel and aluminum, the work reflects nature’s perceived powerful energy, which is unpredictable, beautiful, yet dangerous. By omitting Mother Nature’s face, Quinn reminds us that there is no sense of security or protection from the Earth itself. We are not in control, sudden destruction awaits at any time.
idk, given that the climate change that has demonstrably influenced the frequency and magnitude of these “natural” disasters is directly attributable to the actions of (primarily) real men either living or historical (i.e., those who have controled the companies and the governments over the past couple centuries), this actually makes me kind of uncomfortable
