What's the story behind Earth Matters?
Art can serve a purpose beyond being an object of beauty: it can also ask pressing environmental questions and look at topics such as conservation and sustainability. It has the ability to spread awareness of these issues and, since we have an instinctual need to take care of the things we feel connected to, art can help renew, or spark anew, our connection with nature.
