Matteo Cervone is back to portray a cross-section of society through his illuminated little men who, from their high vantage point, observe the busy pace of humanity and its effects on the environment.
Droughts, floods and tornadoes give voice to a planet that does not seem to be bending to the needs of its inhabitants, namely to the relentless voracity for energy and resources that, though increasingly available, still never seem to be enough.
Change is a wish for a change in everyone’s habits, a conscious choice for our own and global well-being.

Review Project Feedback – Lens Culture
A unique way to deal with symbols and give them meaning […] It is really interesting how is developed the series to clearly make that connection between observing the busy pace of humanity and its effects on the environment […] So work feel on the conceptual side […]
What’s interesting about the series is that you’re not only documenting but creating a situation or experience to convey the intention behind your work. I’m drawn to some shots seems to merge two separate realities or visions in a single image in a beautiful way, […] more surreal and expressive.
