I created this drawing to show how humans are affecting nature — and how we still have the power to restore it.

The image is split into two sides, with a child — maybe even a version of myself — standing in the middle, caught between destruction and restoration.

Left Side – What We’re Doing Wrong
On the left, I drew factories releasing smoke, dead trees, and dried river, trash with oil spillage and dying fish.
There are toxic barrels leaking into the ground, and animals struggling to survive.
The trees are gone, cut down, and the land looks lifeless. This side shows what happens if we keep ignoring the damage we’re causing.

Right Side – What We Can Do
On the right, I showed what’s possible if we choose to protect the Earth.
There are trees full of leaves, butterflies, and people planting saplings.
I added solar panels and wind turbines to show clean energy.
There’s a clear sign that says “No Cutting of Trees” — because saving nature is the goal.
This side feels calm and full of hope.


In the Center – A Message of Hope
The child in the center is pointing to the good side of the tree, half rooted in destruction, half reaching for restoration.
Their clothes are torn, showing the damage done — but giant hands, representing nature, is holding the good and bad earth, representing choice and guiding the child.

What I’m Saying With This Art:
Through this drawing, I want to say: we have a choice.
We can either keep destroying the Earth, or we can heal it — together.
It starts with each of us. Planting trees, using clean energy, and protecting the planet are all ways we can help.

This is the moment we decide which path we take.
