“This series is about environmental awareness. I want people to understand that the earth does not really need us, but we need the earth. Children are primarily used to portray this in my work because children are the future. It’s our responsibility to create better living conditions for them. We pass down all that is around to our children, and what we don’t collect they inherit. They are the most vulnerable in society, unaware of the danger or severity of situations, it’s our duty as adults to act as guardians.”
