The chairman’s challenge of “The world needs more of this” made me think about raising awareness of this issue. I wanted to paint the polar bears because they are affected by climate change, we see them balancing on tiny melting icebergs consistently. By adding the skeleton cubs I show what a lack of awareness would means to all living things on the planet.1of 3
