Artwork Description:
In this composition, a map of the planet, instead of countries and cities, is covered with designer brands, with a deep blue ocean contrasting with land covered with a network of small marks. It appears like the planet at night, observed from a space shuttle. For Chiao, this is also a reminder of the dangers of Global Warming, of oceans capable of washing away nearly half of human civilization if the planet is not well cared for.
