Our amazing coral ecosystems

The artwork is about the preservation of nature and our ecosystem. The left side depicts our beautiful planet with the coexistence of our amazing ecosystems. The human face shows the ways how we can preserve and help our coral ecosystem to survive. For example, use of solar systems, sustainable transportation and green infrastructure. The ying yang contains markings of roads and trees which signifies that there should be a balance between nature and modernisation. The graduation hat which states permaculture shows that we should educate ourselves on solutions that will help us save our planet. The right side shows the complete destruction of our planet where oil has leaked into the ocean. Sea turtles and other animals are suffering an incredible amount of pain due to pollution. It also depicts violent winds of tropical cyclones having strong effects on us due to our dying coral ecosystems. I used bright colours on the left side to show hapiness and dull colours on the right side to show sadness. This artwork raises awareness on what will happen in the future in we do not start looking for solutions and implementing them for a better world now.
