Description
The complex themes of family, technological progress, and environ- mental concerns are addressed in this mural. Botello portrays his ambivalence toward technology through a dangerous network of pipes, which are shown expanding beyond the sites of medical miracles and urban development to encroach upon nature. The volcanic eruption suggests that Mother Earth may get the last word.
