I found this image on another blog about environmentalists and earth conservation since the early nineties. The image is obviously of the planet Earth melting on a cone like ice cream. This is a direct message of global warming and although no words are on the image it screams, Earth first!". The Earth is distorted in the image as would ice cream be if it were melting. The dark background gives a calm feeling leaving the main target to be the message about global warming. This artist clearly put a lot of thought into the depiction of what global warming is doing to the Earth and conveyed it in a simple yet powerful way.
I agree with Mya about the strong message in this simple picture. As Mya already stated it is very clear that the message is referring to the major issue of global warming. The artist made a creative connection with a melting ice cream cone and the earth. I like this picture because its simple but says so much.
ReplyDeleteI also agree about your interpretation of the picture. That was a good point about the background too; if the background were any other color it could convey a completely different message.
ReplyDeletei enjoyed reading Mya's interpretation. I agree with every word she said. The picture she chose is very interesting to look at even though there isn't much being said. It does portray an important message. The colors of the earth look beautiful and the fact that the artist used the color black as the background makes it stand out more. Global warming has become a major issue and I like how the author decided to say that in the picture with no words and few pictures.
