The fauna may soon disappear the way a ball of ice cream disappears in hot coffee, and an ice cube disappears in a glass of whiskey. Global warming is not the invention of British scientists, and it is not just scientists who are worried about our common future. So, a Japanese sculptor Takeshi Kawano approached this problem creatively. He dedicated a small but emotional author's installation to her called Melting animals … Pollution of the oceans with oil, fuel oil and other fuel and lubricating "additives", industrial and household waste does not have a favorable effect on the state of the animal world, both underwater and above water. Not to mention what is happening in the forests, fields, mountains, and modern cities, these concrete jungles of our century. There are more and more people, animals and birds, plants and insects - less and less, and the red book is getting thicker.
Melting animals are just another timid attempt to remind humanity that we are not alone in the world, and that our life largely depends on what is happening around us. Who knows what will be the last straw. And we are responsible both for them and for ourselves.

Snow Vitruvian Man Against Global Warming
When Leonardo da Vinci first painted the Vitruvian man, he thought about harmony and the correct proportions of being.
