Reflection

The decrease in the polar bear population has caught my eye. It dropped nearly 40 percent, mainly due to climate change, over the last decade. This was a shocking fact that inspired me to participate in the Contest. I used bear plushies in a claw machine to represent how we humans are carelessly raising the climate temperature, which causes losses, and even extinction, of species. Through my artwork, I hope the viewer can understand and become more aware of the damaging things we humans are currently doing.
