A Giant Human Footprint Appeared On Greek Island (4 Pics)

I m a Greek visual artist, The Krank, and I created a 1.000 square meters land art installation for Paxos Biennale 2022, which echoes that humanity continues to do more harm than good to nature.

I used a big part of the land as a canvas and worked in silence for 15 days with my bold and touching message which shook the whole island of Paxos. My artwork is spotlighting the urgent need for a balance between economic growth, social well-being and environmental conservation while the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic continues to cast a shadow over global sustainable development discussions.
