touch on the earth by sungmin kim from korea

‘Love your earth’ the earth we love consists of three elements. Sky, Land, Sea. These elements offer many things to live on the earth for us. We need love to look after my earth; however, we forget the thankfulness of the earth. Therefore a lot of elements on the earth have been changing gradually more dark, the colour of the sky, the land and the sea becomes more grey or black because of environment pollution by exhaust gases from vehicle, lots of unrecyclable rubbish, outflow of oil from ships and so on. Thus our natural colours of the earth were changed. My visual works represent these points. They say ‘If the earth feels our love, the earth will find vivid natural colour’. The hand in the work represents our love and the bird, puppy and fish represent the earth (sky, land, sea). So three images in the works (bird, puppy, and fish) consist of many love letters and the colour of letter changes gradually to black colour. It means our love become far off from the earth, the natural colour of the earth will lose forever. When we stretch out our hand to the earth, we can find our lovely environment.
