This artwork is powerful in its ability to show the progressive loss of hair due to climate change. The artwork balding of black women’s hair as a metaphor for global warming is not only significant, but the exploration of the impact global warming has on hair is important. According to the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, it is “likely” that human-induced climate change has contributed to less hair growth in humans. As the impact of climate change becomes more visible, it is important to explore how it is affecting our everyday lives. The artwork balding of black women’s hair as a metaphor for global warming does just that.
The concept is focused on how people are affected by global warming and how we can take steps towards making our planet sustainable for future generations. We have a responsibility to take care of our planet and its inhabitants. Climate change is not just about the environment, it’s about human health and wellbeing. By taking steps to reduce our carbon footprint, we can help to prevent further damage to our hair and skin and protect our planet for future generations.
