Amazonian Field - Introduction
This work, by Anthony Gormley, contained hundreds of clay figures covering the floor of a room. This piece could denote the crowding of the Earth, all the figures were hand-made and were made from the material of the Earth - clay. Every figure just has one feature that make them identifiable as 'human' - eyes. Every figure is looking up at the viewer, making it look like they are appealing for help from the viewer.

"A major concern of Tomas Saraceno’s work is to consider the challenges of the way we live and to develop ideas of fantastical habitable environments floating in the sky that would afford us the freedoms that such a way of life appears to promise."
