XIII. Closing Reflection – The Art of Warning
Fairey's environmental work is not hopeful in the traditional sense. It is alarmist, strategic, and often devastating. But it is also beautiful—composed of symmetry, botanical motifs, and color harmonies that invite before they indict.
These prints are meant to hang in places of consequence: conference rooms, classrooms, council chambers. They are as much instructional diagrams as they are graphic works.
All works in Segment 2 are available for acquisition. Inquire for themed bundles, institutional licensing, or climate program partnership.
