"The
Eternal Nature of the Environment" is a timeless tribute to the
natural being of the earth. The
Hand of God gives life to Adam from the moment of Creation, entrusting
us all with stewardship of The Earth and the beauty of its environment.
The darker area below Adam's hand represents the exchange of life energy
between humankind and nature. Both from Adam as a representative of
us and from Nature to us to feed our existence in its presence. The
reflecting pool is where one would stop to admire our landscape - in
it's 2-times reflections - and remind us of the symmetry that eternally
defines it. The birds represent the free nature of the environment -
the air- as one bird carries an olive branch claiming its peaceful right
to exist in harmony with its world as well. An image of an antique tapestry
hangs behind the modern interpretation of the nature-scape to remind
us that homage has been paid to the land and it's beauty by so many
since time began. With due respect to Michelangelo.
