Reflection

My story is the reality of my and society’s response to climate change. I wanted to show the issues of climate change in a relatable and familiar way, from our daily lives. The setting of my artwork, the bus, is a place that is familiar to many individuals. Therefore, the awareness towards the impact of climate change will increase. The catastrophe outside the window is my hometown, San Diego. San Diego has been experiencing an increase in flooding as sea level rise and extreme precipitation. The summer days of San Diego has been pouring, rather than its typical hot summer. The person in my artwork represents me and the society’s ignoring behavior towards climate change. Though we hear the warnings of the danger of climate change, yet most of us just move on thinking it will not affect us. But the reality is that we have overlooked that the danger is approaching. Though the dangers has flooded until it wets up to our feet, we are still stepping on the warnings and ignoring the issues as if it will never harm our future and today.
