ENDANGERED: Fine Art & Photography Contest 2021 Submission
Denise Weaver Ross' Postcards to America series explores events and systemic problems in each of the fifty states in which the postcard dream of America is in direct conflict with its reality. She is submitting the Alaska artwork from this series. Alaska's state motto ""North to the Future"" was chosen in 1967 during the Alaska Purchase Centennial and was created by Juneau newsman Richard Peter. The motto was meant to represent Alaska as a land of promise. So this piece is called Alaska: Our Vanishing Future since it is beginning to vanish due to climate change.
