Marco the last bear

This is a postcard from a collection titled "Postcards from the Future" which was a project that asked people to send in a postcard that depicted what they thought their future was going to look like. This one is a small collage depicting a bear, alone on a small island, looking for the other bears, who are all gone due to extinction (?). It is a comical take on the future of the earth, but still contains a somewhat somber reality if we fail to address climate change before it blows out of proportion.

Emily Hinshelwood says about designers: "I still find myself in awe of designers, and artists who can speak without words, and really grab us emotionally. This is what I strive for as I know that for an issue like climate change (and probably for young mothers who crave a cigarette), we are hooked by the emotional draw rather than the verbal argument."
