Blue Marble

Climate change and pollution have become a global issue, and this series is my personal crusade in bringing awareness to it. I wanted to use my photographs to voice my deep sense of concern for the next generation. As a father I strongly believed that I had a moral duty to take action and as an artist I wanted to be a humble catalyst. I superimposed portraits of children from around the world over images of the earth and merged their innocent faces into these perilous landscapes.
