In my piece of artwork, entitled “Halfway There.” I decided to do this competition because I believe that publication of artwork that supports climate change is particularly important to make a difference. In addition, I do not always believe in my skills when it comes to artistic competitions, but after spending weeks producing ideas and failing, I found one that I was set on and was determined to do it. On the right side of my piece, it shows what our Earth could be like if we took care of it properly. The left side of the piece is especially important because it shows what is the catalyst for climate change. By using the title of “Halfway There,” I am inviting my viewers to interpret the painting for themselves. Whether we are halfway there to a green earth with all the environmental projects that have recently been started is contrasted by the idea that we are still on track to a disfigured Earth that is overtaken by climate change. I hope that this piece encourages you to ponder what you can do to help with protecting our Earth, and I look forward to the possibility of a day when we no longer worry about the future of our planet.
