“The Last Leaf of the Old World” (detail)

This assemblage of found objects refers to the story of Noah and the Ark, when the dove brings the first leaf of the new world, a sign of hope and survival.
Now the trees’ burning and drowning leaves are giving us signs of dire warning.
As the Austrian artist Hundertwasser said in 1991, “Only if you love the tree like yourself you will survive.”
