Community Project

Our Legacy – Escuela Primaria Melchor Ocampo de Zapotalito
The project aimed to create a sculpture made of piled concrete segments of different colors to imitate a cut in the depth of the Earth and show the stratigraphy of the various geological eras.
In the center of the piece, there is a segment made up of tin cans. The work calls the attention of those students who will cohabit it, to make them aware of the amount of garbage that we generate as a species and that we leave as our legacy on Earth.
The sculpture is topped with a palm roof that provides shade on the school playground and invites children and teachers to hang out under it.

Samuel Zealey sees his sculptural work as part of this ongoing and complex conversation, whilst also highlighting the challenges our current environmental climate faces and the moralistic issues brought about by contemporary technological advances.
His sculptural works combine playfulness of form with precise engineering and a highly developed material sensitivity. The works radiate a lively aesthetic, alert to the ways in which art and creativity can engage with questions about culture, technology and sustainability.
He has a long-standing interest in the relationship between new technologies and environmental issues. With many of Zealey’s works, his visual language highlights the use of modern technological advances that impact the environment. Zealey approach his practice with a view to creating works that highlight the environmental problems created as a result of global warming brought about by the use of dirty, non-reusable fuels humans continue to consume and burn. In turn, His work leads to a new awareness in theories surrounding ‘Global weirding’ – a complementary term to global warming to reflect the belief that climate change will cause weather related and natural catastrophes in extremes.
