Playa Blanca Illustration

This two-part illustration series presents a visual narrative of Playa Blanca, Colombia, capturing the stark contrast between its natural beauty and the ecological strain caused by overcrowding and human impact. Through color, composition, and detail, the artworks aim to raise awareness about the environmental degradation of this popular beach destination.

The first illustration portrays the beach in its overcrowded state—with dense clusters of umbrellas, boats, trash, and human activity overtaking the shoreline. The water appears murky, and the surrounding vegetation is sparse or damaged, representing how tourism and overuse have strained the ecosystem.

The second piece reimagines Playa Blanca in its ideal, preserved form: clean waters, vibrant marine life, and thriving natural surroundings. The scene evokes peace and harmony, serving as a visual contrast and a call to action for conservation.

Together, these illustrations communicate a strong environmental message, using visual storytelling to highlight a real-world issue while advocating for sustainable tourism and ecosystem protection.
