Fran Bouwman: Gaia: ‘Climate Change’ Series
Each of these carved mother earth figures reflects climate change and symbolically, consequential environmental and societal disasters. Unlike the Venus of Willendorf, whose voluptuous figure personifies abundance and fertility, these sculptures are contrary in nature. Depleted, emaciated and imbued with sorrow, they visually mirror the destructive nature of our excessive life-styles. Through figuratively personifying our environmental predicament, Fran Bouwman captures the fragile nature of Gaia and presents the urgency of achieving a sacred balance.
