ARTWORK DESCRIPTION

Humans, despite countless calls to prevent the suffering of others, continue to pollute and degrade the Earth. The artist was inspired to write the poem in the film to convey a message of warning, a plea to help with the conservation and protection of the planet. Global warming is and will be one of the greatest threats that humans and animals alike will ever face. To prevent irreversible catastrophe, every single person must take more extensive measures to take care and save our planet. As well, this film highlights how humans have neglected and plagued the world with their hostility. Society has prejudiced entire groups and peoples. In order to make change and save our Earth, we must act now.
