Artist Statement: 

My short stop-motion animation displays a locomotive which travels throughout the countryside and industrializes everything. The scenic countryside transforms into a massive urban metropolis filled with bright lights, trash, and pollution. Later on however, people begin to realize the issues, and fix them. Bikes are used instead of cars. Trash is picked up. It shows that though our world may have issues, we should be hopeful, because we have the power to resolve them.
