Earth is an immersive artwork that questions our relationship with climate urgency while opening a broader reflection on the human condition. A nude figure emerges from an incandescent mist, anchored to the ground, yet suspended in a liminal space, trapped within a symbolic frame that evokes the perceptual and psychic limits of our reality. This visual device echoes Lacan’s triadic structure of the Real, the Symbolic, and the Imaginary.

The nudity of this figure is not merely a symbol of vulnerability in the face of ecological collapse. This body becomes the Innocent, suddenly exposed to a brutal revelation. Ageless, genderless, and culturally unmarked, the figure becomes a mirror. The viewer is invited to project their own fears, doubts, responsibilities, and contradictions onto it.

Created entirely in 3D, Earth allows me to sculpt a space that is both tangible and metaphysical. The twilight lighting, hovering between the warmth of a sunset and the violence of a wildfire, evokes a tension between beauty and destruction. The fog-covered landscape symbolizes our collective blindness, an opaque, almost suffocating veil that metaphorically represents the denial in which we navigate today’s global crises.

The white frame, integrated into the composition, serves as a visual reminder of our mental boundaries: what do we choose to see? To understand? To ignore?

Earth challenges the dissolution of identity and cultural markers in a world undergoing profound transition. It suggests a loss of control in the face of overwhelming systemic forces,climatic, social, and psychological. Are we still capable of transformation, or are we merely spectators of our own unfolding tragedy?
