A figure strides forward, moving purposefully to the left, while a clock looms in the background, each tick a reminder of our fleeting opportunity. This scene speaks to our relationship with the climate crisis—caught in the tension between urgency and inertia. The hand suggests a moment of pause, a desire to stop and reconsider, yet the legs in motion hint that the world keeps moving, whether or not we are ready to act.
The clock, shrouded in shadows, emphasizes the urgency. Time is slipping through our grasp, and every second counts in our fight against environmental degradation. Are we too late, or do we still have a moment to shift the course? This image asks the viewer to confront this choice: will we continue down a path of inaction, watching the world change around us, or will we take that hand and make a stand, redefining the path forward?
The artist wants a powerful call to action—a reminder that the time to act is now, while we still hold the power to create a different future. It urges us to pause, reflect, and then move, not away from the problem, but directly toward meaningful change.
