What first caught my eye from the original photo was the woman standing in her garden with her hands outstretched. Her head is bent, arms out as if she is holding something delicate, but in reality, as she states, "Nothing here grows" and her image becomes filled with sorrow. I wanted to fill her arms with hope again. I choose to do a surrounding collage of greenery, hope, and a message "Clean up the Earth" in hope to bring awareness to oil spills and pollution. I wanted to represent what the land could look like if the oil pollution never took place.
