That's just the way it is, 2021 Painting

That's just the way it is. Refers to our (my) passivity (lack of agency) over climate control. The Butterfly in the bottom left, refers to the butterfly effect, how what we do has consequences. The ‘take action ‘ is from a collagraph series I created. The polar bear is a common symbol of the tragedy of global warming. The figure at the centre bottom is throwing their arms in despair. This has no positive effect. This could be me, I know I should do more but I feel so inconsequential and small. The Woolworths logo symbolises consumerism but is also ironically extinct. I also have my first-ever Saturday job at Woolies. The oranges and blues represent extremes of climate. There is loads more in there if you take a look, including old money, foreboding skies, obsolete address books, and a punk. What’s it all about Coco Pops, is the second in this series.
