Irwin Karnick has spent the past 60 years blazing a trail as an observing artist. He is an internationally celebrated photographer and filmmaker, whose work uses compelling words and images intended to inspire social and environmental activism.

The work represented in this exhibition is from three larger works by Karnick; The Artist, Water and Seven Seas, Portugal, 2000 and his book titled Acoriana Trilogia: O Espirito, O Povo e a Terra (sponsored by UNESCO and the government’s of Portugal and the Azores).

Through the Portuguese people, their culture and their environment, Karnick brings the universal aspirations of humankind into focus, arguing that if there is to be any true immortality for us, it exists in the survival of the human race on Earth.
