The Earth Screams

This work is loosely inspired by Edvard Munch's painting "The Scream," but here it is the Earth in crisis. In the distance, we see one of the countless extreme wildfires that has ravaged the planet in recent years burning its way down to the water. In the foreground stand unshielded streetlights, each blazing away in pointless defiance, illuminating an empty road. The effects of civilization - for better and worse - last far beyond the people who created them. Cherish what we have so that future artists are not just painting memories.
