Melting moments




Takeshi Kawano, an artist hailing from Japan has created striking sculptures that depict the major effect of global warming – the increasing global temperatures and meltdown of the ice caps which lead to submersion of low-lying lands/countries, death of animals due to habitat changes and a lot of other inter-related damages. He has portrayed all these through three sculptures of a polar bear, a deer and a penguin that are defaced as they are apparently melting away.
