My work was inspired by a ship in the bottle, but the bottle brought attention to the plastic and oil crisis in the water. I added kids playing in the sand to pair well with a quote I heard from my rabbi once during Sunday school. The quote is “I can’t do all the good in the world, but in the world I can do all good.”  I've decided to live by this quote, to not lose myself in despair of the climate crisis, due to the issues I can't control. It also helps to motivate me to do the tasks that I have control over. like, limiting my waste and energy. I thought of the beautiful things in this world like the blue sky and flowers that could be lost to this climate crisis, so I decided to morph the windmills into lawn wind spinners, into flowers blowing in the wind. |
