TIPPING POINT is a mixed media urban landscape artwork depicting the fragile balance between man and nature. In a raw urban environment, a young girl stands side by side with an imposing polar bear. She points the way. 

The polar bear, a symbol of climate change, clearly does not belong here. The weathered walls and rusty doors suggest a world that is slowly crumbling.

In the background, nature is slowly being taken over by the urban jungle. The girl's togetherness with the bear forms a statement about responsibility as ‘life savers’. The work is about the tipping point at which we must decide whether to save nature or let it disappear.

The rough textures, weathered layers and small details reinforce the tension between loss and hope. Tipping Point is both a life saver and a warning of the urgency to restore our connection with nature before it is too late.

db Waterman is a contemporary Dutch artist. In her works she assembles original photography, assorted papers, acrylics, oil, charcoal, ink, and pencil. The variety of resources she is able to use has proved indispensable to her. The biggest challenge the collage medium posed was its unforgiving lack of transparency. Finding a way to replicate the effects of transparency afforded by paint, especially watercolors, was a large victory for the artist. The preparing labor shows through in her collages; layer upon layer of material remains visible in the finished pieces. 

db Waterman believes that the body of her work is characterized by her skill for reinvention. Having always loved the appearance of weathered walls plastered with peeling paint and old posters, she revived this aesthetic with hopefully a keen and professional eye. The creative objective of her work is to “make something beautiful out of dilapidation.” Her tableaus explore the dissonance between old and new materials, intertwined in the most beautiful way possible to create dreamlike and melancholy images.
