| In an Endless Queue in a Post-Peak Oil World
A mother and child wait in an endless queue – for a can of fuel -- set against a dying sun that silhouettes a decrepit oilrig.
The duo, entwining the past and the future, the root and the seed, stand waiting – forlorn -- on an expanse of rugged earth broken only by the dark endless queue of fuel cans.
Composite echoes of a pristine pre-industrial past and jagged edges of helpless, failing economies waft towards us from the rugged soil, whose immediacy is reminiscent of Millet or Van Gogh.
The world has gone into forced regression.
Redemption, promised by the blue dome of a translucent sky, is but a fleeting promise -- the shimmering depths bear the imprint of Hubbert’s Peak Oil graph like a watermark -- or a long-lost prophecy, ignored. It explodes, like the planet’s imminent oil crisis ...
