It’s often said that a picture is worth more then a thousand words and this is so true when you look at the Global Warming Rug which depicts the effects of global warming without the use of a single word.
The Global Warming Rug was a joint project of Ricardo Casas, Alejandro Castro, Héctor Esrawe, Emiliano Godoy, Cecilia León de la Barra during 2008. From the site:
Global Warming contrasts the comfort and softness of a rug with a thorny problem that is specific to our time. Following the age-old tradition of using rugs as a means for communication and a cultural record, NEL is portraying global warming in a scene that invites us to reflect on our impact on today’s world.
Additional pictures are available after the jump.
