Artist Statement: People in my generation can’t help but feel completely and utterly helpless as our world is being destroyed before our eyes. We’ve been handed humanity’s largest ecological disaster, caused by those who came before us, yet we're the ones expected to fix it. It's deeply saddening that many view the beautiful things this planet provides for us as less important than short-term monetary gain. In many ways, we’ll never get back what we have already lost, we can simply prevent further damage to our one and only home. Mother nature weeps with us. We must do better.
