“The artwork I created, ‘Trouble Breathing’ symbolises how, although Climate Change pollutes the airways, waterways, and overal quality of life, we continue living like normal. I especially wanted to highlight this effect on children, as they cannot control how they contribute to climate change as much as adults can. While drawing and creating this artwork, I was thinking about children in countries like China and India, where overpopulation causes mass amounts of smog and litter produced into their air and water.”
