Name: Sparsh Bansal Age: 14 Pronouns: He/him Title: Stop Climate Change and Smother Wildfires Artist’s Statement: I created this image using Photoshop to show the effect of wildfires and climate change, which I chose to be In Pursuit Of because in my community the effects of climate change, such as wildfires, are dominant. I’ve seen the devastating damage it can do with my own eyes. So, I made my image fearful to show people what wildfires can do and help them realize it needs to be changed. I took this powerful picture from Creative Commons and amplified it by adding “End Climate Change.” In all, I made this poster to empower others to stop climate change.
