The artwork “God Holds the World” conveys a message about the importance of taking care of our planet. The words climate change refers to long-term shifts and alterations in temperature patterns, precipitation, wind patterns, and other aspects of Earth’s climate system. It is primarily caused by human activities, particularly the emission of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. I had multiple ideas, but I felt like this one had the most creativity and meaning, I thought it would get across better and easier. The painting depicts God holding up the world while emphasizing the negative impact humans have on the world through actions such as climate change. It expresses concern for the environment and highlights the need for clean energy, sustainability, clean air, and recycling as ways to combat climate change. We need to come together as a community and help stop climate change. I know we can’t do everything, but we can help. Some things that we can do to help are, spread awareness, support international cooperation and policies, promote circular economy and waste reduction, adopt sustainable agriculture practices, encourage the use of public transport and transition to renewable energy. The hope is that the painting inspires viewers to act and care for the planet.
