At the 26^th of December of 2004 a new Scream tore the breasts of Indonesia. Over 250.000 people died because of a “giant” earthquake and tsunami that Followed.

The largest tidal wave of history was created on August 27, 1883 by successive eruptions of the volcano Krakatoa in Indonesia. From the eruption of the volcano, the waves agitated the Pacific and Atlantic Ocean, enormous coral rocks of 600 tones weight “landed” on the beach, the uproar was heard from Australia to India and human bodies were found on the beaches of Zanzibar. The moon was painted for 2 years in a deep blue color, because of the ash that “flooded” the atmosphere.

Inspired from this dramatic situation, the Norwegian painter Edward Munch created his famous painting, called “The Scream”. All of a sudden, the painting was stolen from the museum of Oslo in August of 2003, a couple of months before the catastrophe that convulsed Indonesia and the whole planet.
