My illustrated story which was awarded ‘Second Prize’ in the sixth annual ‘Fairy Tales’ competition run by Blank Space.

The winners were chosen by a jury of more than 20 leading architects, designers and storytellers.

My story was inspired by climate change and how we currently take the beauty of our planet for granted. My desire was to represent this issue through a story that makes us wonder what life could be like in a future where mother nature and her resources have diminished before our eyes. A world where parents have to tell their children stories of what forests, mountains and grass fields where once like. My vision for this future environment was a series of over-scaled structures that hoist man made landscapes into the sky. These structures represent the monuments of our past.
