As we face the dawning of a new decade, we bear a collective responsibility to repair the earth, and initiate change. We are fighting against time. We live in an era where nature is constantly staving off the consequences of humanities wanton destruction.
Timeless and placeless, this image portrays the fragility and preciousness of Nature on the one hand and exemplifies the strength and resolve of Nature - on the other.
Welcome to the 2020’s, a crucial time in history. During this decade, humankind will either decide to take a stand against climatic maelstrom, or to plunge into it.
