The Inspiration Behind the Artwork

"Preservar é Necessário" embraces all wildlife, forests, and peoples who inhabit the natural world, affirming that all deserve to exist in a way that is green, vibrant, and free. The artwork serves as a call for environmental awareness, where conservation is not merely a choice, but an urgent necessity to ensure the continuity of life in its fullest and most natural form.
