The artist of this image did a good job of capturing our society in a simple image. From the image, it seems that as the ice continues to melt away, so do the homes of those polar bears and others like them. The image shows two polar bears who are hanging on to the last bit of land that they appear to live on. These do not come off as meaningless masses of ice as well. The top half of the hourglass shows what seemed to once be a large mass of icebergs, but also seem to be slowly melting, and have lost a vast majority of the solid ice that once was.
However, this picture of society also shows images of trees that have been cut down, gas stations, and factories and cars that all contribute to pollution and climate change. Including elements of cities and nature, while showing evidence of live with features such as people and birds. The bottom half of the hourglass shows what looks like a standard image of society. Within the hourglass, as with every traditional hourglass, there are two separate pieces divided by a tiny gap that is wide enough only to allow a drop of water through at a time. The first identifiable element of this image is the massive hourglass that encapsulates all the other components of the image. The image clearly represents how climate change is posing a threat to our planet and that our time for action towards prevention is running out.
As an image trying to convey an important message, this image does a great job of capturing a problem and showing potential consequences of waiting without action.
