The Cry Unheard

The Cry Unheard is an environmental protest piece. In this case it is the environment doing the protesting. In the panel you first see lovely, bright, floral colors, suggesting the beauty and bounty of Nature. Then man arrives on the scene and progressively makes his dark mark. At a very late point, Nature is basically just a screaming mouth. But the cry goes unheard. Ultimately, Man has done so much damage that neither Nature nor Man survives. The first image is a close up shot of fall-colored wine leaves in strong sun. The "black marks" were done digitally by misusing a tool in Photoshop.
