Earth, water, beings are all linked together in an inseparable circle. We all come from the same melting pot of nature that we should nurture and fight for. But speechless living creatures, part of our bio and ecosystem, are vulnerable.

The cry of nature aims to express their will for life and a continuity message for this planet. As we unveil down the earth layers, we realize how milliards of years of organic transformation might be covered soon by our generation’s harmful footprint.

The work is symbolic and narrative at the same time, the raising claw of a water creature stands for life, continuity and happiness.
