“I have called my canvas 'Building Sea Walls.' I came from a coastal village. These days, the tide is different compared with how it was 20 years ago.I am proud to participate in this Canvas For Change project. Oxfam has done a wonderful thing on behalf of our people. Rich nations should see how little we contribute to these gas emissions, but how we bear the consequences. I hope that our leaders will pursue this issue at regional and global level, with the assistance and support of organisations such as Oxfam. Though the voices of our communities will not be heard directly, the canvas will speak for us.”

Artists from around the world have painted canvases illustrating the human impact of climate change in their countries. Sixteen of these canvases are being exhibited at the UN Climate Negotiations in Poznan, Poland, from December 1, 2008.
