"Silent Cries of the Ocean 1" series 130х130cm, Moltenism

"Silent Cries of the Ocean" depicts birds flying over a vast ocean. The white background with textured paste symbolizes the purity and vastness of the ocean, once untouched and pristine. The birds, crafted in gold, represent the beauty and value of wildlife that relies on the ocean for survival. The use of gold highlights the preciousness of nature but also contrasts starkly with the depiction of pollution and environmental degradation.

These swirling black lines highlight the spread of pollution and its insidious impact on marine life and ecosystems. The birds flying above, while still majestic, are portrayed with a sense of urgency and distress, symbolizing the disruption of their natural habitat.
