As we bid farewell to this eventful year, Vegan Flava’s mural “Rooted above the Taiga” in New York’s Chinatown, created in June 2023, stands out as a poignant reminder of our interconnectedness with nature. Depicting an Arctic fox, a creature surviving in the harsh yet delicate balance of the taiga and tundra, Vegan Flava not only brings attention to the plight of this often-overlooked species but also symbolizes the broader challenges of climate change and environmental stewardship.
This piece, resonating with the themes of adaptation and resilience in the face of changing climates—both literal and metaphorical—speaks to the core of our shared experience in 2023. As we step into the new year, let’s carry the hope that, like the Arctic fox, we can find our balance and thrive amid the transformations our world is undergoing. Vegan Flava’s work, rooted in activism and empathy, is a call to embrace our role as guardians of our planet, a theme that has been crucial this year.
