An immense glass whale rises in precarious balance, resting on its snout, a fragile guardian of an environment, both its own and ours.
Its transparency reveals, protects, and reflects a reality in constant tension between support and collapse, intention and action, harmony and consumption, near and far, past and future, where everything is defined by both personal and collective responsibility.
The artwork reflects on the concept of sustainability as a goal yet to be achieved, on the idea of cause and effect, on the relationship between the local and the global, and more broadly on a vision of shared participation that stems not only from planning, but first and foremost from awareness of the role each of us plays within the environment we are part of.

Planning, however, precisely as a form of responsibility, becomes essential to suggest a path forward, to foster an improved relationship with the planet, one that shifts from exploitation to balance, supported by the development of technologies aimed at restoring harmony in this relationship.
