The sculptures, Witness I, and Witness III evolved from my own witnessing to the ecological changes happening to the local pond in my community. Everyday as I went past the pond to my studio I witnessed the deterioration and the cumulative cycle of change brought by the seasons, which ultimately ended in fish kills by late summer from the loss of oxygen in the water, also known as aquatic hypoxia. My sculptures, Witness I and Witness III illustrates this ecological imbalance.
As the viewer moves through the sculpture, Witness I, one will notice the visual symbol of the ecological triangle representing the 3 balancing forces in the eco system.
The sun sits atop with its constant companion, moon, stirring the atmosphere.
Through human activity directly or indirectly the eco system is affected. One will see moving to Witness III this disruption of balance distorts the triangle, representing imbalance thus, destroying the ecosystem.
