About the Artwork:

“The recent fires in New Mexico has got me thinking once again about all the wild life that dies in these fires across the globe. It’s truly saddening to see the critical situation our planet is facing and even worse to feel like no matter what we do, we won’t be able to avoid all the consequences of global warming and climate change. That being said, there’s still much work left to do and we have to keep trying. This piece was just a reflection on that.” – Diego Peñuela
