Honorable Mention
Wild Fires Everywhere
DESCRIPTION
Wild fires have erupted throughout the Earth, causing devastation and disruption. They have sparked an intensified discussion of climate change. This image is a composite of several photographs, one of a bird, one a manipulation of an ocean photo with a sunset, and two of fires and smoke. I created this abstract image to evoke concern, to contrast beauty and distress. If we can evoke emotions and thought, perhaps there will be more effort to protect our Earth. AUTHOR
