"I am deeply concerned about the effects of global warming on our planet. I use photography, which is a powerful tool to show both the physical and psychological impacts of global warming, as currently one in seven people in New Zealand live in flood prone areas. By using myself as the protagonist in many of my images, I hope to illustrate how the effects of rising sea levels are impacting our daily lives, also highlighting how nature and mankind are all interconnected.
I often use the imagery of shooting through rainy glass to symbolize the current state of the environment. By emphasizing the fragility and the beauty of our planet, I hope to encourage people to become more conscious of their actions and the impact they have on our environment. It is my ambition to use my art as a platform to spark conversations around global warming and to make people more conscious of their choices in order to create a more sustainable future." - Siobhan Costigan
