Earth Day should represent our beautiful Earth. I remember the first time I saw a photo of planet Earth from outer space and thought how special it was. Over the past year, we have seen more natural disasters, to the point that natural disasters seem almost commonplace. How sad and what type of climate are we leaving for future generations?
In this painting, I tried to capture the emotion I have experienced knowing earth's ice sheets are melting. The drops are tears of earth weeping. They also represent tears for future generations if we don't take action. It is my hope that this small act of creating this image will inspire others to take action and the accumulations of actions will stop the tears.
“Humans are very adaptable: we can still fix this. But the opportunity to do so will not last for long. We must start today. We have no more excuses.” – Greta Thunberg
