Koala's Back and Smoke
A koala stands on the balcony of her flat, watching smoke rise from the hills in the distance caused by a forest fire.
Koala Fireman Extinguishing Flames
The koala firefighter holds a hose in front of a blazing fire. He has a serious and determined expression on his face.
Koala in Despair
The poster portrays a koala's sadness as it removes its goggles and witnesses its habitat burning to ashes. If you look closely, you can see that the koala has tears in its eyes.
Every piece of artwork should be a powerful visual narrative that resonates with the viewer's emotions and encourages action.
Andrew Gibbons' work inspired me to humanize the koala. The first poster shows a koala extinguishing a flame with a hose against a backdrop of burning trees. Safety equipment and dynamic movement represent survival. In the second poster, the koala stands against a background of smoke wearing goggles and crying. It conveys sadness and urgency. The third poster shows the koala contemplating the rising smoke from the balcony, reflecting on future worries and thoughts.
My hope is that people will not only feel sympathy and empathy for the koala, but also reflect on their own roles and responsibilities in environmental protection.
