Description:
Based in San Pedro, California, artist William Crutchfield commented on the planetary evolution in this humorous and cartoonist sculptural cut-out. Attuned with archaeology and cosmology, the artist postulated that if homosapiens are evolved from saline sea creatures, they could have come from a Bubble, a space full of virtual particles and dark energy. He could be right. Who knows. This painted wood wall relief is installed on an escalator wall in Terminal 4.

Artist Statement:
"According to archaeologists, sometimes during pre-history our distant relatives crawled out of a saline sea and became us. In the sculpture relief, "The Importance of Being a Bubble", I want to show that bubbles too can have great importance especially when an ever-expanding planetary universe in all of its variety is expressing itself."
