In my work I've represented two "scientists" (Robert Oppenheimer, the father of the atomic bomb, and Hans Von Pechmann, the creator of polyethylene). The submarine and the ship can be perceived as all human "garbage" killing the planet: chemical fertilizers, oil transportation by sea, polyethylene, antibiotics, genetically modified organisms. The fish, ship, and submarine are depicted not just against the background of water, but a theatrical curtain. I have shown that the scientists, representing humans, play with their inventions as they want. In this way they rule nature.
