How is Global Warming

Gaia is a Baltimore-based street artist who has received significant acclaim through museum showings and critical recognition. Born in New York City, he takes his name from the personification of Earth in Greek mythology, and he uses animal imagery to underscore his interest in bringing nature to urban landscapes. Gaia has been identified as a rising star in the art world, with solo exhibitions in New York City, Los Angeles, Washington, Chicago, San Francisco, Miami, Baltimore and Seoul.

Through his mural, How is Global Warming, American artist Gaia addresses the issue of climate change. Around the central arch, he juxtaposes Shish Gumbadh, which sits in the Lodhi Gardens, with a Victorian Botanical Garden, playing with the concept of greenhouse gases. This is flanked by two hands emerging from the water to signify hope and despair, along with an inflated globe and one deflated globe, to show the effect that globalisation has on our planet.
