FLOOD. Acrylic on canvas, 4 feet x 6 feet.
“A United Nations study of the 9,000 glacial lakes in the Himalayas found that more than 200 are at risk of outburst floods, unleashing thousands of cubic meters of water per second into an area where 40,000 people live. In 1985, Lake Dig Tsho in the Everest region released 10 million cubic meters of water in three hours. It caused a 10-meter-high wall of water which swept away a power station, bridges, farmland, houses, livestock and people up to 55 miles downstream.”
