A small green island of life resists the flames One more time the news reports flooded us with information of the wild forest fires raging around the world. Like the fish in the sea ideas float around that it is one of the effects of the change in the earth’s climate, of rising temperatures while others talk about deliberately manufactured disasters and just wave it off as if these blazing conflagrations were simply another ordinary incident in our everyday daily life that did not merit any new discussion. The source of my inspiration was the struggle by those small groups of peoples who continue to fight against this danger whatever the interpretation of the reason or the cause of this natural catastrophe, and in my drawing is symbolised by the small island of green existence amid this giant inferno.
