Original artwork description:

In this artwork, an elegant crystal chandelier intertwines with graceful herons, creating a metaphor for the conflict between civilization and nature. The birds' necks, entangled in decorative swirls, symbolize wildlife's tragic entrapment in the consequences of human progress and consumerism. Cool grey-blue tones emphasize the melancholic mood, where the herons' wetland habitat has turned to barren land. Crystal pendants hang like the last drops of moisture, reminding us of vital resources carelessly wasted.

Part of the "Nature and Civilization" series, this painting explores the fragile balance between technological progress and environmental preservation. It serves as a reminder that our pursuit of luxury and comfort should not come at the cost of destroying natural ecosystems, as we are all merely temporary guests on this planet.
