Reflection

Our planet is priceless. But for profits, we are destroying the environment that sustains life on Earth -- the only life we know in the universe! My artwork portrays our precious planet by demonstrating what our future will look like if climate disruption perpetuates. Behind the eye that resembles the Earth are damaging human activities causing climate change, including fossil-fuel combustion and animal agriculture. My art also conveys the effects of climate change, most significantly its impact on our oceans. The floating polar bear represents the global melting of ice and sea level rise. Additionally, the ocean tear expresses the dangers of ocean acidification, including decreased biodiversity and coral bleaching. The crying Earth expresses the exploitation our environment endures; the pupil dollar sign signifies the hidden root of environmental destruction.
