Original artwork description:

TIPPING POINT is a mixed media urban landscape artwork depicting the fragile balance between man and nature. In a raw urban environment, a young girl stands side by side with an imposing polar bear. She points the way. 

The polar bear, a symbol of climate change, clearly does not belong here. The weathered walls and rusty doors suggest a world that is slowly crumbling.

In the background, nature is slowly being taken over by the urban jungle. The girl's togetherness with the bear forms a statement about responsibility as ‘life savers’. The work is about the tipping point at which we must decide whether to save nature or let it disappear.

The rough textures, weathered layers and small details reinforce the tension between loss and hope. Tipping Point is both a life saver and a warning of the urgency to restore our connection with nature before it is too late.
