Animal Art

The artwork is meant to suggest that even the most innocent and energetic creatures can be affected by the harsh realities of life with all the destruction of our natural environment. It's a poignant and thought-provoking piece that encourages viewers to reflect on their own struggles with addiction, loss and disillusionment. Originally, Sonic the Hedgehog was a symbol of speed, energy and youthful exuberance. But here, the blue colour adds a layer of sadness or melancholy, and the cigarette introduces a sense of weariness and disillusionment. The blue colour combined with the cigarette represents a loss of innocence, a departure from the carefree spirit of Sonic. Hedgehogs have a prickly exterior, but they are also vulnerable creatures. The blue colour emphasises this vulnerability, suggesting a sense of sadness or loneliness. Why is the hedgehog smoking? He was looking for food in his natural environment, but all he found was an old, discarded cigarette. The wood effect adds a sense of roughness and texture to the artwork, representing the harsh realities of life and the challenges the hedgehog faces. The artwork is a call to action to protect our environment while we still can.
