The artist used an very common animal, something that most people will relate to, they have either seen it in person, or at least know of its existence. The picture shows half of the elephant flying away in dust, symbolizing how close to extinction they are, and how much of the earth is polluted. This picture is trying to bring up emotions like anxiety, sadness and stress to the average person, trying to stir up the people’s feeling. Encouraging people to change their actions to help save the earth, and their lifestyles in order to reduce its pollution and increase recycling rates. The elephant dying represents not just the animal, but many other things that are about to be extinct because of destroyed habitat and unable to adapt new environment. Right now it might not seem like much, but the ecosystem connects everything with the food chain, and eventually, it can affect us
