THE GAIA PRINCIPLE (SEE WHAT YOU’VE DONE!).

James Lovelock, scientist and environmentalist, explained it like this: “The Gaia Principle describes the Earth as a single, living organism, with all its biological, geological, chemical and hydrological processes acting in concert, to regulate the planet and ensure its survival through an exquisite array of feedback loops.”

‘SEE WHAT YOU’VE DONE!’ illustrates this fundamental principle by showing a living, weeping planet and the emotional impact it has on a young boy—the generation who’ll inherit the damage our greed has caused.

Since 2007 I have  lived in Tenerife, one of the Spanish Canary Islands. As a keen windsurfer I have witnessed the pollution of the ocean with plastic waste and the effect this has on marine wildlife.
