Environmental Issues

Planetary health is something very close to my heart. I believe it should be for everyone. This planet is our home, and we have become accustomed to so many things that we take for granted.

Our collective actions are changing the natural land and the effects these behaviours are having on wildlife are incredibly intense. Nature is hurting; we are hurting it. While we may not all directly experience the repercussions today, we will later on down the line. Human destruction, environmental issues, global warming, none of these are foreign terms to us and I feel these subject matters are increasingly being discussed the more years pass; they are an ever growing issue.

My aim and the aim of many creatives who favour the power of visual communication is to shock; to make you feel sad, emotional, uneasy, overwhelmed.

Whatever your background, we all share at least one thing in common: we are human. None of us should have the ability or the luxury to turn a blind eye to these issues and impacts caused by humankind. I want to expose and introduce audiences to those who do not have a voice, in the hopes that we might consider how our actions are negatively impacting others of our own kind as well as everything else in nature. I hope that this kind of thinking and exposure, as hard as it might be, will motivate personal change for the sake of our planet and everything on it.

We can’t keep using the excuse that we don’t know what the solutions are. The information and the research is abundant. If you don’t know about it, go look for it! Be curious and be proactive.

Our planet, our home, is a ticking time bomb because of our collective behaviour and I believe that we would be naive to think that we have much of a choice at this point, but to change how we go about life. I hope if nothing else, that this imagery sparks a change in mindset to act now.
