Reflection

Famous nature photographer and conservationist Paul Nicklen's work has had a significant influence on a number of artists. His breathtaking images convey the fragility and beauty of the natural environment, especially in arctic settings. He uses his camera to convey compelling narratives and spread awareness of the essential need to save the ecosystems in our world. Art is a unique form of expressing one’s self because it enables people to convey their thoughts, feelings, and experiences in a way that is incredibly subjective and personal. Art, as opposed to other means of communication like language or writing, transcends literal definitions and may communicate intricate concepts and sentiments that may be hard to express through words alone. My message to viewers of my artwork is that through the lens, we are able to witness the purity of our planet and the connection between humanity and nature. It calls for responsibility in us. Paul Nicklen’s artistic efforts evoke an urgency to take action to conserve the beauty of our world.
