Special Mention for entry into the Global Network of Water Museum’s International Youth Art Contest, “THE WATER WE WANT”

Sylar Segovia won a Special Mention in the International Art Contest, “The Water We Want”. Sylar described their work as follows:

“My artwork, “A Tear for Tomorrow,” depicts the devastating impact of drought in Los Angeles. A young boy carries a nearly empty water bottle, tears falling as he gazes at a dead fish on dry cracked earth. The Hollywood sign burns in the background, a stark symbol of the widespread threat. An empty fire hydrant emphasizes the inability to combat the wildfires due to water scarcity. The boy represents future generations facing the consequences of our actions. His tears reflect the sadness and fear caused by the drought and loss of life. The dead fish symbolizes the damage to ecosystems and the fragility of our environment. The burning Hollywood sign highlights how even iconic symbols are vulnerable. The empty hydrant represents our helplessness without water. My artwork is a call to action. We must conserve water – every drop counts. Small changes, like shorter showers and fixing leaks, can make a big difference. We need to protect our environment and ensure a better future for Our future generation. Lets save water Let’s save life.”
