The Earth is warming because of the temperature abnormality. As a result, glaciers have melted and sea levels are rising. We don't feel this phenomenon very well, we think of it like a distant story. But this is a serious problem that directly connects to our own lives. I wanted to express these risks and fears in a powerful image. I painted myself in the water with the Earth. The hand that presses down on us is a symbol of human greed and selfishness. If you see someone drowning, you're going to have to save them as soon as possible.
