🖐 The 2024 Bow Seat Ocean Awareness Contest invited young changemakers to explore “Tell Your Climate Story” through handcrafted art, expressing personal experiences, urgent realities, and hopeful solutions. Among seven featured pieces today, Xin Lu and Marcus Choi shed light on overlooked climate impacts. Xin’s Allergy Season visualizes the suffocating effects of rising airborne allergens, inspired by her struggles with pollen allergies. Her piece highlights how climate change disrupts daily life in unexpected ways. Marcus’s The Invisible Change captures the fragile beauty of the Whistler Glacier and its inevitable loss.
