A portion of the Black Needles, in the National Park of Itatiaia, is seen in this painting. The fields around it were burned and nature was partially restored. The red bush in it expresses the horror and pain of the living beings, which could not escape neither protect themselves from that disaster.

The big nuclear chimney is a modern version of the old alchemist pan. For the alchemists, transformation of matter, in a nuclear level, was a dream. For us this is a daily event. The problem is to know if what we can do nowadays, in scientific terms, is better of not for us, who are a mix of scientific minds, old dreams, natural bodies and many other physical and not physical things and processes.
Above one can see an upset pollard willow tree, being pressed by a `nuclear dream’ .
