Reflection

To this very day, Millions of children in unseen parts of the world are forced to flee their homes and lose their most valued possessions as a result of Climate destruction. This piece captures a little girl floating in the ocean inside a shabby cardboard mailbox to illuminate the stranded realities of these children in silent suffering. The mailbox used as the girl’s escape boat is shipped off to ‘home’; however, the desolate reality is that in most cases, there is no promising ‘home’ for children like her to return to or newly settle down in. In this way, my artwork expresses the raw reality of Mother Nature’s most despairing children. Being an avid advocator for these children surviving on the fringes of society, integrating this interest of mine with new knowledge on the Climate was very eye opening. I love art for this expressive aspect to it: it becomes a magnifier for your voice. This is why I believe that we all should explore ways to spread our message on Climate Change and destruction.
