Reflection
My piece, "Core of the Problem", depicts three animals, the majestic tiger, the bald eagle, and the giant panda, each symbolizing a specific country: the tiger representing India, the bald eagle standing for the United States, and the giant panda signifying China. My thorough research has led me to conclude that the United States, India, and China are the primary contributors to global warming due to their extensive greenhouse gas emissions and extreme energy consumption patterns. In the center of the artwork, I have illustrated the big three animals heating the Earth and the 8 billion people inhabiting this planet, symbolizing that the core of global warming stems from these major contributors: the United States, India, and China, with the entire population punished for their actions. To conclude, the background features a fiery scene with sparks flying, representing the intensity and urgency of the current global warming crisis in various parts of the world.
