Podcast artwork created by Shiyeon Monk (c/o 2024). Monk’s artist statement on inspiration behind the artwork: “I think the term global warming has been desensitized in today’s society. We hear the term a lot in the movies, the news, and a whole lot more on social media, but to everyday people, hearing about how our daily life will eventually destroy the living spaces for our future generation. And that I think leads to people just acting carelessly. With this illustration, I wanted to highlight this negligent behavior when it comes to the topic of global warming. I set the setting in a swimming pool because of its correlation with lazier, and I basically drowned the earth with all of the waste produced by humans. I hope that this image is a good reflection of how we’re acting while the place we live is being destroyed and brings some awareness of our situation.”
