Reflection
Reflection

In our hands, human activities are fueling global warming, and the homes of Earth's inhabitants are melting away like butter. I was inspired to paint a scene that portrays this sad reality, and through this medium, I was able to translate my message in a metaphorical and creative way. Ultimately, it is up to us to take care of our beloved planet, so the best way to move forward and to prevent further environmental catastrophes is to increase our awareness and realize the amount of environmental damage we are creating.
