Many decisions concerning climate change are based on how much money can be made, rather than how the environment is affected. Examples include the continued use of fossil fuels, harmful chemicals being released into the environment through fast fashion processes, and gases that increase global warming being released through factory farming and animal agriculture. In my artwork, I wanted to show how by valuing the environment and animals over money when making decisions concerning climate change, we can create real positive change. This is shown in my collage through the gold statue which represents value. This statue holds animal and plant life and is placed over the money being collected.
