"All life forms are affected by fire, water, and changes to the environment. The work is based on hope and renewal. Frogs are some of the species most impacted by human encroachment and climate change, and they survive on a tenuous thread connected to biodiversity, access to healthy forests, and clean water. This piece is for the renewal we need in order to survive."
