Deforestation

Isabella O.

• Artist Statement

  This piece was filmed in Cuenca, Ecuador while doing reforestation work after a huge hurricane wiped out large parts of forest. In my mind I was wanting to make the audience feel emotion for the young boy shown who was on the verge of loosing his home. I wanted it to bring a call to action.

• Creative Statement

  Film is a medium that really allows me to bring awareness and context to global issues like deforestation. Creating videos can change the atmosphere around a topic like climate change, and it helps me express how I feel for whats being done to the environment.
