Hello Photosynthesis



This advertisement showing components of a meth lab is repulsive. Although it is for an art show, the message is still the same. There is a huge problem with meth labs around the country. Most are in neighborhoods with families and children playing right out front. The fumes are terrible and deadly, but you can't see them. It my remix, the meth lab components have been turned into flowers and water. They are outlined in yellow to represent the sun. The "fumes" you cannot see is the process of photosynthesis, which all things need to survive. In the background, are many things growing showing how wonderful the world would be if we would create gardens instead of meth labs.
