A Politician’s Promise, 2022

A recent announcement made by the state government promises to save the remaining habitat of many endemic species and end native forest logging from 2024. This historical decision by Mark McGowan will enable forests to grow back, albeit changed, and thrive for future generations. Inspired by the beauty of the natural environment in Western Australia, I feel that it is extremely important to conserve our world. This artwork emphasises the importance of protecting our landscape instead of profiting from its destruction. Healthy ecosystems clean our water, purify our air, maintain soil nutrients, regulate the climate, and provide us with food.
