American designers Joy Charbonneau and Ed Zec have created a series of metal sculptures that simulate America's Great Lakes. For their work, the designers used precise scientific data on the parameters of the largest lakes in the United States and Canada.
Thanks to data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the bronze and aluminum sculptures faithfully recreate the proportions of the underwater landscape and the depth of the lakes.
Joy Charbonneau and Ed Zec explain the idea of their art project in the following way: “We like to create works that reflect not only the social and political problems of society, but also the problems associated with environmental pollution. All these factors significantly affect the future of the Great Lakes, which could not but be reflected in our creativity."
The Great Lakes of America contain the largest reserves of fresh water in the entire world, about a fifth of all fresh water on the planet.
Unfortunately, changes in the environment have also affected this unique ecological system. That is why the governments of the United States and Canada have decided to take a number of measures to reduce the harmful human impact on this segment of the environment.
