The Atomic Apocalypse, by the Linares family, tackles some of
life's great issues and puts religious conflict in perspective:
'This exhibit is both powerful and poignant. It combines four
crucial issues that the global community will always face: disease,
war, famine and death. They are represented here as the four
horsemen of the Apocalypse.
These aspects of humanity have caused divisions amongst us, even
though the effects that they have on our lives are the same -
whatever our faith or culture. They do not discriminate and so
surely they should teach us to do the same. If we were to stand
united as global citizens, then we could better support our fellow
brothers and sisters in their suffering. Above all, it would allow
us to celebrate life together through the rich and diverse cultures
of the world.'
