Deforestation

Deforestation captures the stark contrast between destruction and renewal, a fragile balance hanging in the reflection of the girl's oversized goggles. On one side, the lush expanse of an untouched forest flourishes, rich in life and promise. On the other, devastation unfolds - precious trees felled for the palm oil industry, the earth scarred by greed. One lens reflects a digger tearing through the rainforest, a symbol of loss. The other offers hope: a thriving jungle, verdant and full of possibility.

Nature’s survivors find sanctuary within her. A tree frog, fragile yet resilient, nestles in her hair, saved from the ruin below. A Magpie perches on her shoulder, a watchful presence, an omen of both warning and wisdom. A palm oil kernel rests at her throat, a silent reminder of exploitation, while a delicate fern tattoo climbs her neck, life still determined to grow. Hanging from her ear, an Acai berry necklace glimmers with a 24k gold leaf stem - a symbol of renewal, of the new trees being planted to mend our fragile world.

In Deforestation, the story is clear: what has been lost can still be restored, but only if we choose to protect what remains.
