@toward.2030 has started this strong campaign where artists are invited to create an artwork that focusses on one of the United Nations 17 Sustainability Development Goals. They also teamed up with 17 international organisations that work towards achieving those goals by working in creatives, creating a strong community that is able to make a critical difference that will affect our future.
This painting is about #Goal13, Climate Change and the warnings we’ve been getting from our little speckle of the universe (not to mention scientists) and about everyone’s future in regards to it. Personally, I would love to see governments taking way more action, dealing with this global issue, especially now since we can already see the irreversible changes we caused.
In the bottom you see parts of three tarot cards. Here’s the explanation to what they are and stand for (info taken from @biddytarot ): The Tower (XVI): UPRIGHT: Sudden change, upheaval, chaos, revelation, awakening
REVERSED: Personal transformation, fear of change, averting disaster
Death (XIII):
UPRIGHT: Endings, change, transformation, transition
REVERSED: Resistance to change, personal transformation, inner purging
The Star (XVII):
UPRIGHT: Hope, faith, purpose, renewal, spirituality
REVERSED: Lack of faith, despair, self-trust, disconnection
