Network for Migration Matters is a wonderful organisation focused on raising awareness and understanding of migration issues faced around the globe. With the set-up of their new arts programme, NMM Creative Arts, I was kindly asked if I would like to contribute.
Out of the topics available, I chose to create a piece that represented desertification—a consequence of climate change that forces communities out of their homelands as increasingly large areas of land become unusable for farming and habitation. I created this piece in Blender, with the exception of the falling sand trail (which was much easier to compose in Photoshop).
This piece tries to highlight not only the damage done and its irreversible nature, but also the need to solve climate change with incredible urgency.
