Hands clasped in desperation, face marred by the scars of industry, deforestation, and pollution, the Earth prays. Factories rise like a crown of thorns atop her head, grey smoke curling into the sky like thinning hair. Rivers that once teemed with life now run dry, and the Earth cries dying plants, leaving behind skeletal remains of wildlife lost to pollution and human actions. She bows under the unbearable weight of suffering. Her emaciated body is sharp and angular, one consumed by human destruction. The black and white palette drains the world of vibrancy, just as climate change strips away the richness of ecosystems. The ink-stained background drips like oil spills, the tears of a planet drowning in the consequences of human neglect. Yet the Earth never stops pleading. Her fires cry for relief; her melting glaciers beg for mercy; her polluted skies wheeze for breath. Her very foundation trembles, waiting for someone to answer. So, when the Earth weeps and when the Earth prays, will you listen?
