No Need to Argue, Anymore

Conflicting Views

Artist’s Statement

The time for arguing has passed and action needs to be taken if humanity is to survive the climate crises currently enveloping our globe. In my piece “No Need to Argue, Anymore,” I explore this theme and the desperation of time running short.
