Original Artwork

 

'26 million Refugees' is an exclusive globe created for the campaign Earth One. 

 

Realised in the artist's signature style, this artwork contextualizes the average number of refugees scattered around the world at this time and highlights how the ability to migrate is based on privilege of being born in certain areas around the world. There are 2600 dots on the piece, each dot represents 10,000 people.

 

Our planet is the most precious natural resource that we humans rely on for our very survival. Climate change is a very real challenge, and with rising sea temperatures, plastic pollution, air pollution, deforestation, and animal species dying out, NOW is our last chance to act to save the planet that we call home before the effects of human activity cannot be reversed. 

Every artwork sold in this collection will go towards supporting the World Land Trust and their Buy an Acre campaign. All net proceeds of sales made via this campaign will be shared equally 50/50 between the artist and the World Land Trust, to ensure a safe future for wildlife, in a real, measurable and tangible way.
