#TBT 🌎 From the junior category, this provocative art focuses on the effect of melting ice on arctic animals: “I wanted to show the irony of animals from the South and North Poles gathering together and taping the icebergs with manmade tape. ” 🐬Our earth is heating at a radical rate, and the global temperature has already reached 1.2 degrees, all set to reach a record high of 1.5 degrees within the next 5 years. This severely threatens melting icebergs and the animals that depend on them for survival.

As they are affected, so too are the other species that depend on them, in addition to people. 🖼 “Fixing the Ice” by Arinne Ryu of Sherborne, United Kingdom, 2022 Junior Art Gold Award 🥇 #OceanAwarenessContest #OceanArt #StudentArt #GenSea #OceanActivist #Ocean #GreenhouseGas #AnimalAgriculture #Methane #Pollution #GoGreen #YouthArt #ArtCompe...
