Bangladeshi landscape Sculpture

This Bangladeshi landscape is the first full resin artpiece I've done, after a mould of the original Bangladesh. Resin was then painted with as much realism as I could. Because the landscape is that of a quiet territory with scarcely populated areas, mostly hamlets and small villages, with rice fields and woods, it is a very peaceful subject. To me this represents the true soul of this beautiful country. Nevertheless, this paradisiac vision hides all the problems connected with this territory in real life. In effect, Bangladesh is one of the poorest countries on earth, also one of the most polluted, with one of the fastest growing populations and the highest densities, and endless governance and other problems. When observing the rivers which ennerve the country, one can not suspect for example arsenic pollution, which has a natural cause: it stays in the sediments of the rivers, and a Bangladesh is roughly the big alluvial plain of Ganga and Brahmaputra, arsenic is nearly everywhere, with concentrations in water a few times higher than the maximum allowed dose injestable by humans, according to the WHO. The same rivers carry many discharges dumped by any industry working near the rivers... And the beautiful rice fields are scattered with rubbish. Though very resilient, calm and high spirited, Bangladeshis are on the verge of a truly catastrophic situation, that might endanger the country and its population even sooner than expected, meaning perhaps even before the lethal effects of big permanent floods provoked by Climate Change. This Bangladeshi Landscape is part of a dyptic, being the chronological first part of it. The second part of the dyptic is the art piece Bangladesh in Climate Change.
