Through his work, Wim Delvoye creates witty statements that typically wouldn't have a connection to nature. In his piece, Out Walking the Dog, Delvoye uses the civic typographic technique to inscribe onto monuments. These simple messages that Delvoye leaves behind usually would be ones that would be mentioned in either emails, text messages, social media or on a casual note. By inscribing these profane messages, Delvoye plays between public and private, beyond the ordinary. Although these are simple messages, Delvoye's work comments on how, "each significant human experience correlates with the forces of nature".
What I found interesting about Out Walking the Dog, that even though the message was to focus on how society wastes natural resources, Delvoyes' work itself has an effect on nature. His work both provides irony and witty responses for the viewer, as an end result. It's almost although Delvoyes' work has to have an effect on nature in order for the viewer to understand their own effect on nature.
