People in the city of Bilbao recently woke up to a disturbing sight: a sculpture in the River Nervion, depicting a young girl, eyes wide open, who appears to be drowning.
It’s the work of a Mexican artist named Ruben Orozco. Titled “Bihar,” which means ‘tomorrow’ in Basque, the work of art is meant to provoke conversations about sustainability and climate change.
The artist told a Spanish news outlet that he wants people to consider how "their actions can sink us or keep us afloat.”
