About the artwork

This image manipulation connects two of the biggest challenges of our time: the Covid-19 pandemic and climate change. Both phenomena show how vulnerable our society is to disruptions in the natural world and how our behaviour affects our environment. The artwork serves as a powerful reminder of the urgency to both protect our planet and invest in resilient, sustainable societies.

The pandemic showed us how fast and far-reaching the consequences can be of a disruption of the natural balance. Similarly, climate change shows how human activities can disrupt our planet's delicate systems, with far-reaching consequences for both society and the environment.

This artwork invites the viewer to consider the parallels between these crises. It highlights the need for conscious choices and collective action to ensure the health of our planet. The depiction of phone boxes as aquariums, with one open, symbolises the urgent need to wake up and take action before it is too late. The subtle reference to Doctor Who adds an element of nostalgia and urgency, highlighting the unexpected nature of these crises.

Ideal for eco-conscious consumers, art lovers, urban adventurers, and fans of thematic artworks, this art offers a unique opportunity to reflect on the impact of our behaviour on nature. The artwork calls for action and inspires us to take responsibility for the preservation of our planet and the future of our society.
