The six pencil drawings mounted in the lightboxes show the light and dark side of the development of civilization. The pencil drawings depict desert kites, a large hunting ‘trap’, estimated to have been built over 10,000 years ago in the Middle East to catch herds of ungulates such as rhinos, horse, camels, and deer; the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam , which the Ethiopian government has been construction on the Nile since 2011 to generate electricity but has become the cause of conflicts between neighboring countries; the ruins of Palmyra destroyed by religious conflicts and wars; Head of a Buddha artificially cut out from the Borobudur Temple during the Dutch colonial rule in Indonesia and display at a Dutch national museum; two paintings created during the period of rapid social, economic and cultural development-Number 32 by Jackson Pollock and A Monkey and dog beside Dead Game and Fruits by Dutch still life Artist Jan Weenix. 

If Jackson Pollock’s work rejects the traditional painting techniques with pour or sprinkle of painting symbolizing his will that expresses itself externally, the bonsai signifies nature sacrificed y humans for growth and is grown to a size suitable for human appreciation. The repressed will to grown to a size suitable for human as it contrasts with the endless desire of human. As such, The New World shows the benefits of technological and cultural development and the other side of humanity’s desires, conflicts and the destruction of culture heritage and ecosystem.
