This acrylic painting symbolizes Bermuda’s environmental challenges, combining natural beauty with the effects of air pollution and climate change. The triangle in the centre depicts a smoky polluted sky along with rough waters & none of Bermuda flora and faunas. The polluted air symbolizes the impact of emmissions, specificaly from the BELCO smoke stacks, which are in the image. The rough waters symbolize the effects of climate change; the tides rising. The flowers through island, as well with the vibrant calm ocean, & symbolizes Bermuda’s beauty and the characteristics that are worth saving. This piece allows for reflection on Bermuda’s vulnerability and the need for sustainable action. It brings awareness to the crisis as it is ignored or “Unseen” by many Bermudians.
