Italian sculptor Lorenzo Quinn has created a series of breathtaking sculptures entitled Force of Nature that vividly depict a figure, Mother Nature, swinging planet Earth around in circles. A truly astonishing work.
“We humans think of ourselves as supreme beings, above all others and in absolute control of our destiny and our surroundings. We live with a false sense of security only to be awakened by Mother Nature’s fury, almost as if she needs to remind us of her presence and our responsibility towards her child (The Earth).After having seen the ravaged coast of Thailand and the Hurricane that affected the Southern States I decided to create a sculpture dedicated to Mother Nature. This would be reminiscent of the early statues made as peace offerings to the Gods in the hope of quenching their anger.” – Lorenzo Quinn
