Reflection

Once I volunteered to pick up trash in a local park near my house. Amazed by the amount of trash I collected, I noticed that the connection between nature and I should be like yin and yang. We unconsciously pollute the environment as well as are aware of the importance of taking actions to protect it. The dark forest in the background expresses the emptiness of environmental pollution. The wooden boards and iron pieces are scattered on the floor, representing environmental pollution that humans created. In the middle, a woman stroking a bright white figure with dozens of trees depicts me who implemented actions to minimize harm and promote sustainability. Through my artwork, I want my audience to think that they should take simple steps to protect the environment.
