Title: "Renaissance"
In the heart of a bustling city, Ava is a young artist and environmental advocate whose work and passions are deeply intertwined with nature and sustainability. Known for her striking visual campaigns that promote water conservation and clean water initiatives, Ava has become a symbol of hope and renewal in her community.
The image you see captures a moment from Ava's latest project, titled "Renaissance," which aims to highlight the importance of water in both literal and metaphorical cleansing. This project involves a series of portraits that merge artistic expression with environmental activism, each depicting individuals in moments of interaction with water—emphasizing its essential role in life and beauty routines.
This particular shot was taken in a small studio that Ava transformed into a makeshift rain room, using recycled water to create the effect of natural rainfall. The soapy texture on her face represents purification and the daily acts of renewal that water enables. The hand-painted eyes and the meticulously added catch lights are symbolic of her clear vision and hope for a future where clean water is accessible to all.
As Ava’s gaze meets the viewer, there's an unspoken challenge to recognize and respect the fluid, life-giving force that water represents. Her expression is serene yet resolute, a testament to her dedication to her cause.
Through "Renaissance," Ava not only showcases her artistic talents but also her commitment to making a tangible impact on the world. Her work is a reminder that art can be a powerful advocate for change, and that every drop of water—and every effort to preserve it—counts.
CIFOR-ICRAF joined global leaders to highlight the urgency of wetland protection—and the need to turn science into action.
Wetlands may cover less than 1% of Earth’s surface, but they support over a billion people, store carbon, regulate water, and anchor food systems.
Yet they’re disappearing three times faster than forests.
This COP is a critical moment to shift from awareness to implementation—placing wetlands at the heart of climate, nature, and development solutions.
