“Our environment is important for all living things. My piece is about caring about our planet. Our livelihood, and the livelihood of plants and animals are dependent on our environment. From landfills, to deforestation, we have tainted our planet. It is our responsibility to restore it to its former beauty. The background of my piece looks like the texture of tree bark, and the Earth is green and small with hands cupping it to show that it is our responsibility to protect it and care for it.”
ARTIST BIO: Alexis Johnson is a grade 12 student at Taylor HS studying art under art teacher Zanna Ferree
