Photoshoot for a poster pitch on oil pollution.

The final product shows: "La vie de nombreux animaux est anéantie à cause de plus de 140 déversements de pétrole au Québec, chaque année. Mais vous ne savez pas ce qu’est de tremper dans le pétrole."

In english: "The life of many animals is destroyed because of more than 140 oil spills in Québec, every year. But you don’t know what it’s like to soak in oil.

I know this is not really an example of a destroyed natural landscape. But I felt I needed to communicate the message.

Powerful interpretation
On 29 March 2008 Mario Scattoloni gave props:
Certainly, OPEN 2 interpretation, I very much like the concept. Nice juxtaposition & somewhat a hilarious foto moment 2 see a human being soaked in oil rather than some defenseless creatures. Great 1.

Thanks every for the great comments. That is one aspect I really like about art... I try to suggest themes and messages, but one great part is when interpretation can push those messages further into thoughts.
