A powerful and evocative image of Gaia, a colossal figure representing the Earth, standing defiantly against a backdrop of industrial pollution and environmental decay. Her skin, once vibrant with ecosystems, is now a bleak tapestry of browns, greys, and sickly yellows. Continents and ecosystems etch her face, while her stomach houses a miniature Earth, reflecting the world's plight.
Surrounding her, the city moves forward obliviously, as humans contribute to the pollution. The air is heavy with the smell of decay, while defiant birds circle overhead. Gaia's eyes, deep pools of ancient wisdom, stare towards a distant horizon where a sliver of sunlight pierces through the polluted haze.
