I am a creator pushing for a change in consciousness. “If we don’t experience the natural world as part of our external self, we will continue to create waste, practice harmful economics, and lead lifestyles which are not healthy for us or our planet.” The fused plastic banner “Earth can’t Vote” is a call for climate action through voting. The banner is both beautiful and melancholy, silently noting the link between overuse of plastic and declining life in the world’s oceans.
