Reflection
Reflection

Creating this piece allowed me to document our changing climate and its effects on different environments through my passion for photography. The process began with researching various landscapes impacted by climate change, using examples from different places around the world and illustrating diverse effects. I knew I wanted the camera to be the focal point of my piece. By depicting a camera capturing these moments, I aimed to convey both the urgency of the issue and a sense of hope. The lighthouse symbolizes hope and guidance. Through this exploration, I learned that my artistic expression could evoke powerful emotions and inspire others to reflect on and address climate change.
