In this painting I tried to represent the contrast between the suffering of the planet, its uncertain fate, and the human indifference. A colorful beach crowded with tourists no longer has the "natural" compendium of clear waters and summer sun, but is dominated by a black sky that has even swallowed the sea. We do not find either the moon or the stars, in the past a reference for travelers, sailors and bearers of an idea of destiny. Instead, there is a skeletal carapace, a new star that has nothing wonderful about it and that refers to the fate of the planet connected to a humanity unaware and indifferent even to its own future.

The elements of the composition are taken from memories of my last trip to Sardinia last summer: the beach is inspired by Cala del Morto in the Chia locality in Domus de Maria (Ca), while the carapace is one of the many I saw while walking along the paths of the Mal di Ventre island, located a few miles off the Sinis peninsula (Or).
