The Flowering Fox

By Name: Grace Age: 12 School: The Priory CofE Artwork Name: The Flowering Fox from My artwork is also inspired by Ecclesiastes 3:19-21. This passage sums up the fact that animals should have the same rights as humans and humans don’t rule over them. To support this, the first book in the Bible tells of God’s instruction to humanity to be stewards of the world and take care of God’s creation.

I hope people will notice the mountains I placed on top of the fox’s head. This represents how the world is evolving and becoming more technological but that doesn’t help the fact our earth is in crisis from pollution and greenhouse gases which are destroying our earth’s vegetation.  In Genesis it states: Then God said, “Let the land produce vegetation: seed-bearing plants and trees on the land that bear fruit with seed in it, according to their various kinds”. And it was so (1:11)

So why have previous generations destroyed this? Lots of people say, we the 12-year-olds are the new generation to save our planet. But what if we can’t, will we just be relying on the next generation and the generation after that?  What if we are running out of time to make the changes needed to save our world.  What can be done now – that’s what I think we should all ask ourselves.
