“Abiding at the Edge”

In a rather ironic way, this steam punk-ish rendering of the fiddler mud crab’s claw and the stressed spartina grass points to the failure of mankind’s efforts to fix and mend what industrialization and commercialization of the land has destroyed. Life, in fact , is not better for many of our fellow creatures. Most live on the edge. The old battle worn fiddler crab strikes a noble pose but he is standing on a mudflat where global warming and rising water levels make life uncertain.
