paradoxically shows us how deeply concerned Francois RUEGG is about the impact of industrial wastes on the ecosystem of the ocean. The top of this smooth formed work appears as if made of industrial plastic and is supported by a swelling form reminiscent of tentacles of sea creatures. This paradoxical combination delivers the message that we human beings often forget that we are part of the far larger entity that we call nature.
