Smoke and time in the blue sky

2021 - Division III (Ages 14-18)

I focused on the smoke that is harmful to the environment emitted from the factory. As time goes by without a break, I wanted to express that the bad smoke emitted by numerous factories that are always in operation 365 days a year is passing along with time. There are a lot of factories around the world running constantly. This means that we are always living with bad smoke in the air. Therefore, our planet is always suffering from factory smoke. However, humans cannot stop factories for convenience. I wanted to criticize this part. Not only humans, but also animals and even plants are adversely affected, but humans have yet to find a solution. Black smoke covers the clean blue sky. Compared to the relatively bright buildings, the factory chimney is exceptionally dark. Unlike the dark smoke, I painted clocks(time) with bright colour. It seems like the clock is telling me I'm leaving now." I hope everyone who sees this picture knows how much negative impact the factory is having on the environment and find a beneficial way to solve this problem.
