REFLECTIONS
Climate change is here. Yet, just as each of the
drops in the photo, mankind only sees their
own world. We focus on ourselves, our
immediate actions and our temporary desires. We do not step back and see that the world we are
reflecting is really the same world inhabited by so many others. And that world could lose its color
if we do not unite our perspective and fight climate change together.
I chose to use these water drops to represent individuals with different perceptions of the same
problem. Some see more colors. Others see a blur.
