Nele Azevedo, a Brazilian artist who feels very strongly about global warming and its consequences on us and generations to come. 

Melting Men, is what he calls it; a series of art installations from a project called Minimum Monuments. Since 2005, Nele has been placing Melting Men sculptures in  various countries all over the world. This year he carved 1000 figures out of ice and displayed on stairs of a concert hall them in Berlin; he prefers to display his work in a place that holds some historic value to a city.

These melting sculptures highlight the slow yet very disastrous affect of global warming. 

He started out this project from Sao Paulo with 300 sculptures in 2005, with time the number increased and so did the awareness. "The amount of sculptures depends on the place. The place where the intervention happens has always has an historical meaning to the town." Nele Azevedo explains, further adding "When there are more sculptures, the bigger the impact, and it reached monumental scale."
