leafy tears

Artist: Sabine Carter

Humans need clean air, water and healthy soil. It is essential not just for our own survival but also for the survival of fellow species. "Environmental degradation is the deterioration of the environment through depletion of resources such as air, water and soil; the destruction of ecosystems and the extinction of wildlife. It is defined as any change or disturbance to the environment perceived to be deleterious or undesirable."(unescwa.org​)

Artist statement:
"We mourn the loss of biodiversity and fear the future. Can our tears rewild the land? Probably not. It's our actions and our protest that might speak louder than our tears."
