Climate crisis awareness mural at South Eugene High School, Eugene Oregon, 2020, by Brynn Gerl

Climate Crisis Mural

2020, South Eugene Highschool

Created to highlight the urgent threat of climate change, this mural was installed in the South Eugene High School science courtyard as a visual reflection on environmental impact and responsibility. The composition contrasts a vibrant, thriving ecosystem with a stark, polluted landscape filled with plastic waste, illustrating the consequences of human choices and the importance of protecting the natural world.

Following the completion of the project, I used the mural as the foundation for a grant proposal that secured $2,500 in funding from the school to support the development of additional murals for the art department.
