2021 - Division III (Ages 14-18)

This artwork indicates the environmental issues of climate change and people's abuse of using animal products. This piece also contains a variety of social photomurals via its connotation and symbolisms. This subject is vital because there are many people around me who deny the actual impact of climate change on people's lives. Most of them underestimate the threat that global warming poses to their future generation. Besides, Due to people's indiscriminate killing of wild animals, the ecological balance has been significantly damaged. People's pursuit of decency and desire has taken countless innocent lives, and ultimately the deformed ecological structure will bring inevitable consequences to people. This work is named " the turning point" because the entire work should describe the retribution that people have received after breaking the ecological balance. This digital illustration depicts a girl sitting under a bus stop roof; right next to her is a giant PSA screen aiming to raise people's awareness of climate change and its consequences if they choose not to take any actions. She is wearing a mink coat with blue jeans. A red cloth strip covers her eyes, and she is taking a selfie to showcase the diamond ring on her finger. Blood dripping from her cloth represents the brutality of murdering animals in the name of o pursuing satisfaction and decency. In PSA, there are many elements that indicate the idea of climate change and the killing of wildlife. In both images, it could be seen that there are many products from nature that are moving quickly to the left, and eventually fall into an abyss, showing the audience that nature will eventually take away everything that belongs to it.
