What Is To Come, Ryan Ivanov, 2020
What Is To Come is concerned with the issue of fossil fuel extraction, in the context that once all finite resources are used up the world will experience an enormous collapse. It will affect not only the economy, but the environment as well because the consumption of finite resources puts extreme strain on the entire planet. In order to prevent this, other methods of generating power must become commonplace.
Fossil fuels consist mostly of hydrocarbons, and are called fossil fuels because they contain the fossilized remains of animals and plants from millions of years ago. The tombstones above the digital sketches of dinosaur bones show that humans will eventually reach the same end as dinosaurs, the creatures from which we are currently sustained, however our oblivion will be caused by our own hand.
This art piece is a warning of what is to come if precautions are not taken immediately. Humans, especially those in power who control large operations such as fossil fuel extraction, do not know when to stop until it is too late.
