Nature is crying #ClimateCrisis2024 #Group10_Richard Thomas

I have a strong feeling about nature being harmed. I am an illustrator and I want to do something with illustrations. I came up with an idea from playing cards with my parents, so I decided to make a deck of porker cards——“Nature is crying”. I was inspired by the artwork 'Odd Bods Playing Cards' by artist Jonathan Burton. I designed a deck of playing cards that naturally smile and cry. Whenever I see nature after the climate crisis. I feel that the once beautiful nature is suffering endless harm. After being hurt, she naturally stopped smiling and instead left us with her tears. In my work, I have detailed four crises: ocean acidification, wildfires, and excessive logging. I hope to leave a lasting impression on the audience, and I have tried to create strong contrasts in every scene.
