The evil created by Homo sapiens of the planets ecology is like a serious disease – deeply rooted, draining our life and leaving little hope of recovery. People appreciate the presence of the earth only in the obvious, but the earth reveals what we cannot see with our eyes – people support only what they see, but do not feel directly. Meanwhile the earth enriches us with what we cannot even imagine and what we cannot see whit the naked eye. The author wants to draw attention to the earthworm as a small organism of the world, which with its work plays an important role in the natural ecosystem. The installations of the group of objects are symbolized by the shape of the globe, which is crossed by the motif of earthworms, expressing a message about the process of natural cycles and human responsibility for the stability of ecosystems. To emphasize human relations with soil, water and their interaction, to emphasize the problem of depletion of fresh water reserves and the melting of glaciers, which are actual consequences of climate change.
