The title of this sculpture is a reference to the popular colonialist idea that it was always white, Western, Christendom’s destiny to conquer the world. The results of this expansion are evident around us, as forests fall to mono cropping and beef herds, as mines drill deep into the earth and release their poison into the water table. Most of our lifestyles are so deeply intertwined with the destruction of the earth and the continued colonization of so-called third world countries that the scope of the problem is difficult to grasp. This sculpture is an attempt to encapsulate the mindset of extraction and the results thereof.
