March 28, 2012 Gal·la

[CaliforniaMama]

In 2010, this sun stencil was created on the beach of the Delta del Ebro in Spain.



It is the portrait of a little girl named Gal·la who lives in the Delta.



It was created as part of the first planetary art exhibit called "eARTh" curated by 350.org.

Designed as a sun stencil, the piece was made to bring attention to the problem of sunlight/heat that cannot escape back into space because of greenhouse gases.



Gal·la's portrait was constructed using a labyrinth design to allude to the tenacity of the human spirit to find a solution.



The entire labyrinth is made up of simple shade material and wood posts.

Designed and created by Jorge Rodriguez-Gerada
