A unique artwork representing a "desiccated mermaid" was recently completed by Taiwanese artist Huang Rei-fang in the South Pacific island Tuvalu. Huang says he tries to alert the world to the predicaments that smaller nations are facing under the global environmental crisis.

The recently finished art piece is named Dried up Mermaid with sharks surrounding it.

It is the artwork by Taiwanese artist Huang Rei Fang in the south pacific island nation of Tuvalu, which is facing the fate of being submerged in seawater.

It is a way for Huang to protest last years global climate summit that took place in Copenhagen. Huang has always made her point loud and clear in her works, including the piece of polar bear biting former U.S. President Bush and penguins handing themselves off London Millennium Bridge, that the living environment is being threatened and human beings should be responsible for what is happening to the earth.

In about ten years time, the island nation of Tuvalu will have to pay the price for global warming of being completely submerged underwater.

Huang is planning to visit Tuvalu again next month for another project, using smoke signal to ask the world to help while hoping to get more attention before the global climate summit in Mexico at year end.
