“We’re losing our air, and we need to act now. My piece is about pollution and global warming, In it, a 1950’s cartoon style character with a skull head and neck, wears a gas mask. Through the gas mask eye hole, human skin can be seen. In the background factories pumping out more smog for the air are shown, also a sign that says “nearest forest 27 million acres” symbolizing how 27 million acres of forest are cut yearly. But behind the smog one can see a sky with birds flying to show that there still is hope to heal.”
