2nd arm: Heavy and overfed, a young person lies surrounded by an abundance of food. He’s a glutton and can’t decide what to gorge on next: the sausage, the ham, the drumsticks or the chocolate? Maybe some wine or beer? He is obese, just like a good 30 percent of the Earth's human population (Die Zeit online,12 June 17). The people who lived hidden away in caves below him consider themselves lucky, as this excess of food allows them to "steal" a little every now and then – not enough to put on weight, but enough to stay alive at least. The food industry pumps more and more food onto the market, gluttony is what they want. Any leftovers end up rotting in containers. Enough to feed how many people?

6th arm: Without noticing it, we are increasingly slipping away from ourselves, succumbing to the world of social media and opening up to complete strangers. The greed in social networks to have as many friends as possible, to indulge in gossip, to forget that there is a real world, makes many become lonely and addicted. You define yourself only through your internet groups; “likes” are your lifeline. Since you rarely experience anything, you have nothing to tell and your friends online already know all the digital gossip there is to know. Reading books, the feel paper in your hands is a thing of the past. But at least you feel alive for a moment if you take a quick picture— but why and for whom in this fast-moving world? Insomnia and fear of being ignored online are the consequences. Our dwindling feeling of personal identity eats away at our real lives, allowing influencers to become all-powerful.

7th arm: With increasing popularity, they suddenly want to try gain power over others, by becoming politicians, for example. More and more magicians, musicians and actors are entering the world of politics. The greed for power has shaped the history of mankind for so long and has ultimately brought only death and ruin. Eloquent politicians can easily spread lies and find enough followers to implement their political agendas, no matter how wrong they are. A charged socio-political climate, history has shown, regardless who is behind the greed for power, creates only losers in the long run. Greed for power manifests itself in many ways: a show of superiority, the claim to be right, the wish to impose one's will. Whether it is Buddhists expelling the Rohingya, Indian Hindus robbing Muslims of their livelihoods, Muslims bombing Christian churches, or crusaders forcibly converting infidels: throughout history, the power of religion may have done more harm than good. Attaining power through a show of strength, physical intimidation or even the use of weapons, leaves traumatized victims and robs countless people of their ancestral homelands. Power through drugs, criminal organizations, politics and world religions can tear apart established social structures and leave irreparable damage behind. Although it was difficult for people to check propaganda for truth before we had the internet, the internet has made it even easier for people today to produce and spread fake news and conspiracy theories and to make others believe just about anything.

8th arm: The greed for power and the apparatus necessary to maintain it requires enormous financial resources. In many countries, these can easily be obtained through the exploitation of natural resources. Whether it is diamonds, gold or crude oil – they have triggered the greed for our planet’s resources, regardless of the consequences. We can expect major wars to be fought over natural resources. This greed leaves only losers and toxic wastelands in its wake— once the process of ruthless overexploitation has begun, only dead industrial deserts will remain. Nowhere left to live for people, animals and flora; everything will be radioactive; contaminated water sources will leave us without the basis for survival. We will have finally succeeded. Greed, growing slowly until it reaches a point of no return, is capable of creating conditions that will make Earth uninhabitable: with it we will exterminate ourselves and very likely most other life forms as well.

| After a few designs of "Australia", this version should become much more Australian. So I have exchanged some of the previously existing animals, so that now really a part of these animals living in Australia have come together. As well the continent should be designed with greater recognition. A dolphin has helped to connect the Tasmanian island with the mainland. 17 animals from driftwood as well as the red continent. |

| Many of this iguana are green. This one hence is yellow, like the nanka wood I choose for carving. This one was requested and as you may imagine is already gone. You like this animal?, so you order one. I only produce it on request. |

Part teak wood from broken Fishing boat, the other part went into this sperm whale with the giant squid. Some parts are glued. |
