UPY Save our Seas Foundation Marine Conservation - Highly Commended
'A home divided'
Dmitry Kokh
Polar bears and man exist in two different worlds. Human progress is relentless, but in the process we are melting ice and devastating the oceans. The two worlds - man and nature - continue to drift apart. And the crown of this incompatibility - we board this huge iron vessel with a capacity of 75k horsepower, with a luxury bar and pool to explore “the animal world” - a place moving further and further away from us. The world as we know it is very fragile, and the current state of affairs - from political conflicts to the climate crisis - means that the end could very well be nigh. These things are real, and if they continue as they are, the outcome will be catastrophic. I’m curious - what will it take to steer this ship around? So - a home divided. Or maybe the world is divided?
Judge's comment: What a stunning image. You can see from the first second that the message is delivered! Small and big - human impact to the nature. Well done and well deserved.
