IMPENDING (version 2)

 

I integrated charcoal & graphite on this piece. Charcoal powder is diluted for the background. The eye is selectively colored in red color pencil to portray some sort of "possession" so as to add more mystery to it's overall composition.

 

Parts of the feathers are drawn in coal we usually use in our garden (for our orchids) to add more depth. Coal has long been the primary power source in my home country (the Philippines), and large-scale power plants act as a safety crutch in the country’s quest for energy security. But the advent of cost-efficient renewable energy technologies is challenging coal’s dominance as the go-to energy source. Climate change is coal’s most serious, long-term, global impact. Chemically, coal is mostly carbon, which, when burned, reacts with oxygen in the air to produce carbon dioxide, a heat-trapping gas. When released into the atmosphere, carbon dioxide works like a blanket, warming the earth above normal limits.
