#OurPlanetWeek2022
One step at a time
Every year I try to participate in this illustration challenge (#OurPlanetWeek) that supports a movement for the planet, through art. They post prompts for a week, and the whole community is pulled together to draw their versions of conceptualised illustrations for that week. For the prompt 'Green Living,' I wanted to bring focus on how there are many pieces coming together through the choices we make, when we choose to live a life that's aligned with the planet. Years of conditioning and normalized habits are extremely difficult to unlearn and outgrow. We only get to the place of 'Green Living' one puzzle piece at a time.
Our Planet Week illustration movement was founded by digital artist & illustrator Asia Orlando (@asiaorlando) in 2020, after a series of devastating events that took place during that year, among them, the fire in the Amazon’s and Australia’s bushfires. That’s how the idea of this illustration movement was born. The concept of the illustration movement is to use what we do best to create environmental awareness and start a movement that resonates each year. Their partnership with One Tree Planted, allows them to plant one tree for every illustration posted under #OurPlanetWeek.
