The Spanish photographer and artist Richard Le Manz has made awareness and criticism about climate change and environmental problems one of the hallmarks of his photography.
The "Decisive Moment" project, initiated by the artist in 2019, reflects aloud on inaction in the fight against climate change and the future we want for our planet.
The collective inability to understand the imbalance between progress and the natural world confronts society with increasingly complex and demanding global challenges. Environmental problems, the loss of biodiversity, global warming, climate change, even growing inequality, moral indifference, and the pandemic itself, possibly related to the aforementioned problems, are issues that mark the present and that the artist addresses with minimalist images and loaded with subtle messages.
Each of the images explores some of the implications provoked, capturing our time in a conceptual and poetic way. Issues such as our world hanging by a thread about to break, the problems of the pandemic, the world with a mask, the signs we ignore of our nature, or the already still life, have a place in the images that make up the project.
In the current situation we are undoubtedly at a decisive moment for our planet.
The crisis we are going through is a great opportunity to think together and try to find the harmony that will allow us the prosperity of humanity and nature, together.
The work aims to contribute a grain of sand to this reflection.
