What Hath We Wrought by Sheldon Goldman

What Hath We Wrought by Sheldon Goldman

"What Hath We Wrought" depicts a blind man sitting on a bench with his guide dog, while there is a torn poster on a brick wall behind him. The poster is showing some of the weather we as humans have caused due to climate change. The poster images include fires, a tornado, as well as its aftermath, desertification, and lightning striking a barn.

Some paintings are not so “pretty” to look at and these unfortunately are some of the realities humanity is having to deal with as a result of climate change. Is it too late to alter the consequences? No one is sure at this stage. The blind man represents the human race and his guide dog symbolizes hope. I leave any other symbolism up to the viewer.

We as artists can put a spotlight on the environment and what is happening to our weather. Sometimes we can even make a difference and that's why I created this piece.
