Inspired by "Girl with Balloon" by Banksy, I have created a simple illustration of a penguin letting a plastic bag fly away. Disposable plastic products are a big part of climate change as they pollute marine life and release massive amounts of greenhouse gases during their production. The penguin in this illustration not only represents the marine animals that suffer from plastic pollution, but also the people who are ignorant of these aftermaths and waste plastics for their convenience. Banksy’s original piece is famous for its representation of hope, and I wanted to similarly convey a hopeful message: It is not too late to combat climate change!
