“Desertification” is a piece that portrays the raw transformation of fertile soil into an arid desert. The dry, cracked earth stretches as far as the eye can see, with sandy ocher tones that capture the relentless advance of desertification. The surreal sculpture represents the struggle of the soil to preserve life in the face of the desolation that invades it. This surreal conceptual art NFT serves as a chilling reminder of the urgent need to address desertification, a crisis that threatens global food security and biodiversity. The work becomes a call to action, urging us to focus on sustainable practices and restore degraded lands.
This collection, primarily based on conceptual art, uses surrealist sculpture to embody the essence of soil, highlighting its importance, beauty, and the dangers it faces. The collection alerts about the alarming global soil degradation. It is confirmed that more than 52% of arable soils are degraded and could disappear in 60 years. In the United States, 50% of the topsoil has been lost; in Mexico and Central America, the degradation reaches 74%, and in South America, 45%, highlighting the deforestation of the Amazon. The extinction of soil has significant economic and environmental consequences and costs approximately $10.6 billion per year. “SAVE THE SOIL CON ARTE” utilizes the potential of NFTs to generate awareness and action through art. The NFTs in this collection are limited and unrepeatable.
