Open Borders

In 2007 Astrid Mora was awarded for Academic Excellence in the Palm Beach Community College Annual Art Awards. Additionally, she won the 1st place in painting at the 21st Annual PBCC student Art Exhibition with her painting "Open Borders" the same year. This is a vision of the fragmentation of our planet by human beings, and the problems that millions of people face everyday; striving to find a better life in those places called the "First World". Some attain the dream, but most squander their lives. What are we doing to improve this situation?

Earth-life

I experienced a tragic disaster on one of my trips to Spain. An oil supertanker sank in the Mediterranean spilling its content into the sea contaminating everything that it came in contact with. The slick brought death and destruction, to the sea, the shore, the fish and the foul alike. I was very distraught with the way humanity cares for our planet. This work is a vision of our aching planet and the warning signs we cannot ignore.
