Their purpose is to reflect injustice and encourage change as we seek to undo the damage done by the contemporary climate crisis. In some cases this is largely innocuous and more a product of pure creativity than a riposte against real-world issues.īut more recently, smaller creators have been designing worlds as mirrors to our own.
