A portrait of a Tahitian goddess laying down near an offering of several bowls of fruit, decorated by beautiful tropical flowers all around her, including a hibiscus flower on her head.
The poem below was written in the small rectangular concrete alcove which has faded away.
Look with your eyes the beauty of Nature
which is dying
Inhale with your nose the sweet perfume of Flowers
which is thinning
Taste with your mouth the nectar of Fruits
which is becoming insipid
Touch with your hands the splendour of the Earth
which is depleted and drying
Listen with your ears to the roaring of the Ocean
which are emptied but still rising
Are your senses numbed to our Plight?
Will Paradise Be Lost?
