I was selected to create an original piece for the Energy theme of the EARTH: Fragile Planet exhibit. Energy is and will become one of the biggest challenges of sustainability this planet will face. I have always been fascinated with our ecosystem and the biodiversity of the plants and animals that live around us. I decided to approach this piece not as a statement but as a celebration of one of our most unique creatures, the Electric Eel. The Electric Eel possesses the ability to create energy and he also lives in a fragile and impacted world.
