The Amazon Is Burning

If a fire breaks out and spreads into thorn bushes so that it burns shocks of grain or standing grain or the whole field, the one who started the fire must make restitution.

They must suffer for their carelessness, as well as for their malice. It will make us very careful if we consider that we are accountable, not only for the hurt we do, but for the hurt we occasion through inadvertence. (Bible commentary)

The Amazon fires pose a threat to human health and aggravate global warming. Huge tracts of the Amazon, which serves as the lungs of the planet, are ablaze.

The colors and forms of this work respond to my emotional state in the face of such a terrible ecological disaster. Within that scorched environment, some isolated spots remind us what the Amazon was before the start of this pandemonium.
