PolicyMic calls the sculptures “haunting“. I call them creepy
Artist Isaac Cordal’s tiny sculptures are found in the most unlikely of places: on top of buildings, in alleyways, on gutters, at bus stops. They are found in nooks and crannies around the world, and the gravity of their meaning is far greater than their size.
The first outdoor “intervention” of the artist’s Cement Eclipses series is from 2008. Since then, he’s made approximately 60 “interventions” (Cordal’s word for the installations), published two books and brought his work to countries around the world. Sometimes the sculptures stay in one space for long periods, other times he places them, takes a photograph and moves on. In every place and with every sculpture Cordal is making a point, or more pointedly asking a question: What are we doing to our world?
Cordal’s work is desolate, haunting and haunted, but that makes sense: He is fixated on environmental disaster and he uses his art, specifically his project “Waiting for Climate Change,” to bring that potential future into sharp focus. In his work, small human figures seem to cope with a post-apocalyptic reality. According to the artist statement on Cordal’s site, “The art work intends to catch the attention on our devalued relation with the nature through a critical look to the collateral effects of our evolution.” It’s safe to say, Cordal succeeds.
Interesting: Cordal has apparently traveled all over the world for the art. Obviously, Mr. Cordal walked, right? No fossil fueled travel, right? Let’s see one

I’m waiting for the day when Warmists stop their art, poems, plays, spreading awareness, and simply practice what they preach.
Teach are you as politically pure in your own life? Are you packing heat all the time ?
Have you given up fossil fuels and gone carbon neutral john?
So, as the water slowly creeps ever higher, stupid people will not realize that they have to walk 100 feet inland or so to escape it, and they’ll drown?
That kind of seems like win-win.
