The paintings of the artist illustrate the social concerns of our time. Mrs. Carle’s following text shows it well.

"When I painted this picture Eau vive, in June 2003, I was not aware that the 7^th edition of Quebec Solidarity international would bear that theme:  Let us choose our world < water for all, all for water >.  It is encouraging to see a concrete move, in order to draw the attention of every one of us to this problem; the lack of drinkable fresh water.

In the newspaper Le Soleil dated November 8^th, 2003, a cry of alarm is heard:  water : source of conflicts.  It is mentioned, among other things, that the exhaustion of resources will have economic effects on the whole planet.  If the work Eau vive refers to the 5 continents, Africa today, and by far, seems most affected and vulnerable.  You only have to think about all diseases, dryness and other calamities the lack of water may bring. 

We often hear that when a whole group of artists decide to make things move, it gives results.  It is perhaps through them, wherever they come from, that we build a responsible culture.  This is why I would like to see artists from all fields illustrating this problem (for example authors concocting a musical).  Hopefully, their arts, going through the 5 continents, would contribute to wake up the politicians, as powerful as they are, with something else than war and then create a more democratic humanity.  Saving and sharing water could be the first step of a lasting peace, and save this planet already so badly hurt."
