About

Presenting a 1-minute animation video on the need for a "Just Transition" in the move to sustainable energy production. A reminder to preserve the environment and uphold human rights to avoid a climate disaster. The goal to achieve a common sustainable future is possible through due diligence and mutual collaboration.

A collage image on torn, aged paper shows a black and white photograph of a person standing at the edge of an open pit mine in a mountainous landscape, holding an umbrella, a bold red circle superimposed over the scene. The worn, documentary aesthetic gives the image the weight of testimony.
A grey high-speed train sits on a track flanked on both sides by towering columns of deep red flames against a textured beige background. The image pits the promise of modern transit directly against the visceral threat of fire and crisis.
A wind turbine stands at the centre of a dark graphic circle, its three blades revealing glimpses of images within each segment, city skyscrapers, a government building with a domed roof, and a stock ticker display. The collage suggests the complex institutional forces that shape the energy transition.
The screen is split into two halves, on the left a monochrome pile of US dollar bills, on the right an overhead view of pedestrians crossing a zebra crossing. The stark visual binary sets financial profit against human lives.
Five human hands of different skin tones reach across the frame from various angles against a dark background layered with scattered banknotes and diagonal stripes. The image evokes both collective reach and the messy entanglement of people and money.
A sleek grey high-speed train is shown in profile, its aerodynamic nose pointing into a bold blue target circle overlaid on a textured cream background. The graphic composition frames the train as something to aim for, progress in the crosshairs.
A green train travels across a torn paper strip cutting through a circular window that reveals a dramatic aerial photograph of a mountain dam, reservoir, and forested valley below. Set against a vivid green background, the image links clean rail with renewable hydropower in a single hopeful frame.
A wind turbine photographed from below dominates the centre of the frame, set against a vivid green circular graphic on a cream background. Positive social media speech bubbles radiate outward around it, suggesting a groundswell of public enthusiasm for clean energy.
