Climate Hero: Vandana Shiva, Navdanya Research Foundation for Science, Technology and Ecology

Close-up of a mosaic pattern made from various beans, including soybeans, black beans, red beans, and green mung beans, on a flat surface. A portrait made of various colored beans arranged to form an abstract face and clothing pattern.

Reflection

My art was inspired by Vandana Shiva, an Indian environmental scientist and activist. My work is centered around the theme of food security. Although the process was really hard and exhausting, I enjoyed putting beans on the canvas and creating my final work. Through my research, I've learned that climate change is a really serious problem that impacts both living things and the earth. I have come to believe that if every person becomes a climate hero, we can terminate all the problems on the earth.
