The oil spill disaster in the Gulf of Mexico is an environmental catastrophe.
On April 20, 2010 the disaster has taken the lives of 11 offshore workers, and injuring 17 others.
This drama, involving a leaking deep water oil well, has devastated the marine envronment, effecting wildlife, affecting as many as 400 species along the coastal areas of Louisina, Missippi, Allabama and Florida.
This unprecedented environmental damage has cost Gulf Coast residents their livelihoods and will cost billions of dollars in cleanup and recovery.

Beautiful work, powerful. We all belong to this race...we are human and not better. Just ashamed me. And this doesn't end. We cannot do a lot. Just looking in the mirror and start with ourself. Next month I will visit the BP portrait price exhibition in the Portraitgallery...what a complicated world...And there is an exhibition in the British museum supported by BP too....Need to turn a button all the time. Shaming myself. Book of the dead , a BP special exhibition...what a morbid happening...THESE thoughts are running in my head and what can we do, nothing, this is just horrible.José Fortunato 30 Jun 2010
