Description

Description:

This tail design brings together broken ‘pieces’ of two separate stories and gilds their intersection. The black pieces represent fear, emptiness and decay – a not-so-subtle nod to oil spills and a statement on environmental preservation. The pink pieces represent compassion, tenderness and creativity – as Chance Purpose believes the response to our climate crisis will require equally nuanced and thoughtful solutions. More about this tail.
