ENDANGERED: Fine Art & Photography Contest 2021 Submission

The first time I saw a mandarin duck, I was stunned by it. However, I decided to draw the Mandarin duck not only because their colors are so vibrant, but that not many people know of their endangerment. This is happening because most of the ducks reside in their native habitat, located in China and Japan. Due to the fast development of these countries, their homes are being destroyed. In my drawing, I portrayed a hand holding a mandarin duck as if one was saving it. It looks so precious and fragile in the hands, so I want this drawing to serve as a reminder of how beautiful nature can be but also how easy it is to lose it.
