From the Author:

β€œFor this project, I decided to do a two piece artwork showing how if pollution does not get better, the world will become worse and worse, until it is deemed unlivable. In the first picture, a trashcan, merges with a landscape with happy and bright fish and trees, accented with a picture of a lively colorful earth, and some white clouds to show the cleanliness of the surroundings. The trash can is finished by two bands wrapped around, saying "No Going Back," and "Not Recyclable," to really pull together the idea that there is only one chance to keep the planet clean. In the second piece, The colors are much darker, mostly black, gray, and reds, showing a dark and gloomy mood. The landscape in this picture has a lack background, with a factory creating smog, and two dead fish. The globe in this picture is very dull, especially in comparison to the globe in the other picture. Much like the other picture, this one also has two quotes on bands saying, "We Warned You," and "You Failed." This image depicts how the world could turn out if we don't stop pollution now.”
