New course, who dis?

After an exhausting 2020, I only got a 2 week break before my new course began. This time I'm studying a Bachelor of Sustainable Innovation (Fashion and Textiles).

As part of that course, for our digital design subject we have been encourage to start a website. Hey presto I've already got one! My poor neglected website needs a bit of weeding, watering and fertilising.. Anyway, here is an image I made on Procreate for our class:

Our task was to make a collage which we thought represented one of the Sustainable Development Goals- I chose both #13- Climate Action and #15- Life on Land. I was inspired by the Australian bushfires at the start of 2020 and the plight of the koala. Mass extinction seems like such a massive and unstoppable problem which we (humanity) are causing. It breaks my heart and makes me feel utterly helpless.. I'm a vegan, I compost and I try not to get sucked in by consumerism but everything I do just seems like a drop in the ocean. I hope this image conveys a sense of urgency to the viewer and makes them see how we are collectively gambling with the lives of all the other creatures on Earth.
