Through the Looking Glass: A Reflection on Today’s World

As we navigate the complexities of our modern world, it’s essential to pause and reflect on the tapestry of events unfolding around us. Today’s artwork, a symbolic representation of global news, technology, and uplifting narratives, serves as a mirror to our times.

Here we see a happy hybrid owner, but behind them is a representation of the social and environmental impacts of battery manufacturing, reminding us there is still work to be done to call it ‘clean’ energy. The cameraman is clearly showing that all eyes are on the ongoing conflicts in the world, and the mushroom cloud with a big question mark takes this visual reminder home. The overall scene is one of conflict, hypocrisy and (ironically) hope. As some laugh, enjoying a moment, it is suggestive of how human nature can remain optimistic even when facing extreme challenges. The resilience of the human race shines through in this Project 365 offering.
