The two-abstract sun-like circles in Breaking Point speak to the threat of global warming on our planet. The distressed texture in Breaking Point is reminiscent of the industrial steel diamond floors found at many construction sites. It poses the question: at what point do we realize that we have the power to make the changes in the world that we want to see? –Artist statement
