Overflow
'' Gail Potocki's Concern about human population growth is represented by the two people interlaced in the human paper cutouts. The background is a solid mass of buildings where only a small square of sky shows through as all of the landscape becomes consumed.''
Plastic Vortex
''With animals trapped in the plasticized water, the figure in the painting recoils from the Grim Reaper - like seabird as she bears witness to an omen of the future of our oceans.''
Taira
''This is symbolic of deforestation 's effect on the landscape. The woman/tree hybrid catching fire represents all of humanity's attachment to nature and how our fates are interwined.''
Icarus
''Influenced by Icarus ignoring his father's warning and flying too close to the sun; Gail show similarities in this myth with nature's warning for our own possible self destructiveness. In the case of Icarus here, his wings have been stolen from the dead bird that he has slung over his shoulder showing brutal acts of human with animals.''
Thaw
About Thaw Gail Said ''Both bees and the woman are out of place in this landscape showing habitat problem. the bee brings a fleck of light to the woman representing our dependence of them as life givers''.
