"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.
