作者导赏！

1.《雨林精灵》

姜豫行 7年级

这只正在叶子上休息的蛙叫华西雨蛙，分布在中国南方部分地区和越南。雨后，它们喜欢趴在玉米叶、田边树上或者灌木丛上大声呜叫。

2.《生命的舞蹈》

姜豫行 7年级

多孔菌是一种野生菌类，生长在朽木上。在它成熟之后，只有5-7天的生命。在这期间，它会一直产生孢子，并把它们散发出去。闪光灯照射下的孢子，跳出了一支生命的舞蹈。

我想通过以上两幅作品展示自然的美好，进而启发大家关注——人类考虑自身利益时，我们应该先想想是否会对大自然带来危害。保护陆地生物，人类才能在这个星球上活得更久。

3.《发电站》

周秦 11年级

巴特西发电站是1930年代建于伦敦的蒸汽发电站，现在已经被更大、更环保的核电站替代。

巴特西发电站在2022年与马来西亚资本合作，改造成为可持续发展的居住、商业、文化中心：曾经用于排废气的烟囱现在是城市观光的电梯（如上图）；屋檐上的人工鸟巢是候鸟的歇脚点；屋顶变成了2700平米的碳中和花园。

如今，每天有无数人住在巴特西发电站社区，来这里游玩购物。当然，也有少数平克弗洛伊德粉丝来发电站外面站着，啥也不干，就为了致敬专辑封面。

4.《景区》

张子谦 11年级

这张照片是我在乌兰察布的火山景区拍摄的。

虽然景区明确规定不允许售卖和燃放烟花棒，但为了促进旅客的消费和旅游，很多商家依然贩卖烟花棒等严重污染环境的产品。

这些产品用后也没有得到正确的处理，即便垃圾桶就摆放在一旁，人们还是随手将用完的烟花棒等消费产品扔在一旁。清洁人员只能一点一点的把它们捡走。

5.《改造与欢乐》

张圣初 11年级

这张照片拍摄于一个打包厂的旧址，记录了一位父亲和他的孩子在阳光中欢乐打卡拍照游玩的画面。

旧工厂打包厂改造后成为孩子游玩的空间。这种改造让原本可能闲置或不符合现代需求的建筑，转变为服务于居民的公共空间，有助于提升城市的包容性，为市民提供更多休闲、交流的场所，促进社会融合。

同时，改造过程注重可持续性，对既有建筑进行再开发，减少了资源浪费，符合可持续发展的理念，也是应对城市发展中住房、基础设施和服务滞后等问题的一种积极实践，助力打造更宜居、面向未来的城市，与SDG目标 11 的核心要求相契合。

6.《智慧之门》

陈冉桐 11年级

这是我在拉萨扎西寺拍到的住持。他非常年轻，25岁 ，但已经是扎西寺的住持了，还出版了好几本书。

他从门中经过时，我按下了快门，他的背影像极了这扇门的锁眼，他脚下的一步步也寓意着开启了通往智慧的大门。

7.《洛带博客楼》

王朗皓 11年级

这张照片我2025年7月摄于四川省成都市洛带古镇。照片中正是洛带古镇的著名建筑——博客楼。

此客家古楼整体参照福建永定楼打造，融合了岭南与巴蜀建筑风格。然而在我看来，它远不止是一栋建筑。在当年，此处是客家人同乡互助的枢纽：为新来的移民提供食宿、介绍工作；是商业议事的中心：协调生意、处理纠纷；是信仰寄托的场所：供奉家乡的神祇；也是文化传承的空间：举办家乡的节庆活动。它是文化存续的体现。

如今，成都市作为中国西南地区的核心城市，正是这些不同的移民文化，造就了成都包容、多元、繁荣的城市气质。一个地区的文化，不应是内部固有的。外来文化的注入，往往能为城市带来新的活力。在我们身边，有的人会讨厌外地人。有的人从小在一处长大，看不惯自己的文化被改变和冲击。然而，外地人真的该被排斥吗？不，他们带来的文化或许能为城市带来更多活力。

8.《山野间的“方便”》

王子天 6年级

在河北蔚县的自然的大山里，有一个蓝色的简易卫生间，好像一个独一无二的意外的风景，吸引了我的注意。简易的卫生间展现了人们在偏远的自然环境中最基础的文明、卫生和尊严，也让人类的卫生设施可以与环境和谐共处。

9.《围困她的塑料》

胡天爱 9年级

这张照片拍摄于瑞士日内瓦联合国总部的门前。雕像的名称是“The Thinker’s Burden”。我使用特写的构图形式，聚焦于被塑料瓶簇拥缠绕的雕塑，目的是为引发人类对塑料使用过度和污染的思考。

萦绕着藤蔓的女性象征地球，直观的为人类展现出如若不推进《全球塑料条约》的达成，地球将持续背负着塑料之困。同时，对于环境的保护是全人类需要在可持续发展道路上携手迈进的关键，因为地球不需要人类的拯救，需要拯救的，是我们自己。

10.《从世界各地到天涯海角》

袁思成 10年级

这张照片拍摄的是波士顿的一个港口，那里堆放着五颜六色的集装箱。这些集装箱要么是从世界各地运来的，要么是准备运送到大洋彼岸的。这一幕提醒我们，现代海运在当今世界全球化中发挥着重要作用。它对全球贸易至关重要，因为它为世界上货物体量的80%以上提供运输，使我们能够轻松获得来自世界各地的产品。

然而，我们不能忘记这个行业背后的环境成本。它造成了全球约2%的温室气体排放，污染了世界海洋，促进了气候变化和海洋生物多样性的丧失。因此，如果世界想要采取行动减少污染和碳足迹，企业和消费者需要认识到其成生产和消费对环境的影响。

11.《绣花奶奶》

董浩宇 9年级

这张照片拍摄于湖南张家界的黎寨。在那里，我看到寨中大多年轻人已外出务工，而留在家乡的多是年长者。他们依靠手艺维持生计、支撑家庭。这位奶奶坐在长廊中，一针一线绣制手中的作品，也静静等待着偶尔前来询问的游人。 她的目光专注而从容，手中的绣品不仅是一件商品，更是一份有尊严的劳动，是文化与生计的温柔延续。

这张照片呼应了SDG的第8项——“体面工作和经济增长”。它深刻地提醒我们：经济的包容性增长离不开每一个人的参与，无论年龄、无论地域。这种自力更生、坚守传统的工作方式，是支撑家庭与社区的深沉力量，也是经济增长中不可或缺的一环。

12.《反光》

周秦 11年级

照片拍摄于英国，人物的真实影像与反光呼应。外界的声音可能会塑造或定义性别，但他们自己真实的样子不应也不会应这些声音而改变。玻璃中的反光看似脆弱，触摸不到，但反射的永远是自己真实的样子。

13.《不同》

陶安然 8年级

我是在巴黎和妈妈，以及妈妈的朋友一起时拍下这张照片的。当时我在地铁里，看着这些人。他们来自不同的国家，有着不同的肤色。大家彼此交谈着、微笑着，我并不知道他们是否原本认识，但那一刻他们正在交流。就在我按下快门的时候，地铁正好驶过，所以照片呈现出一种很特别、很好看的效果。

因篇幅限制，作品说明有删减。

Artist’s Guide!

1.Rainforest Spirit

Peter Jiang | Seventh Grade

This frog, resting on the leaf, is the South China Rain Frog (Hyla simplex), a species found in parts of southern China and Vietnam. After rain, they like to perch on corn leaves, shrubs, or trees at the edge of fields, calling loudly into the night.

2.The Dance of Life

Peter Jiang | Seventh Grade

Polypores are wild fungi that grow on decaying wood. After maturing, they live only five to seven days. During this time, they continuously release spores. Under a flash, the spores appear as a dance of life.

Through these images, I want to showcase the beauty of nature and inspire reflection: when pursuing our own interests, do our actions harm the environrment. Protecting life on earth is essential if we want humans to thrive on this planet for generations to come.

3.Power Station

Joe Zhou | Eleventh Grade

Battersea Power Station was a coal-fired power station built in London in the 1930s. It has now been replaced in function by more advanced and environmentally conscious energy systems, reflecting a global shift away from fossil fuels.

In 2022, in collaboration with Malaysian investors, Battersea Power Station was transformed into a sustainable residential, commercial, and cultural hub. Without altering its iconic exterior, chimneys once used for exhaust are now elevators offering city views; artificial bird nests on the eaves provide resting points for migratory birds; and the rooftop has become a 2,700-square-meter carbon-neutral garden.

Today, countless people live in or visit the Battersea Power Station community. Occasionally, a few Pink Floyd fans also stand outside, paying homage to the band’s iconic album cover.

4.Scenic Area

Billy Zhang | Eleventh Grade

This photograph was taken at the Ulanqab Volcanic Geopark. Although the park explicitly prohibits the sale and use of sparklers, many vendors sell these highly polluting products to boost tourism.

Even with trash bins nearby, used sparklers and waste are casually discarded, leaving cleaning staff to pick up the piecees—quietly bearing the environmental cost of unchecked consumption.

5.Revitalization and

Community Spirit

Joel Zhang | Eleventh Grade

Taken at the site of a former packing plant, this image captures a father and child enjoying a playful moment in the sunlight.

The transformed factory now serves as a children’s play space, demonstrating the sustainable reuse and renewal of urban spaces.

Repurposing buildings to serve residents enhances inclusivity and provides recreational, social, and cultural spaces. This approach aligns with SDG Goal 11 by promoting sustainable cities and communities.

6.The Gateway of Wisdom

Terry Chen | Eleventh Grade

This photograph captures the young abbot of Tashi Monastery in Lhasa. Only 25 years old, he is already the abbot and has authored several books.

When he passed through the doorway, his silhouette resembled the keyhole of the gate, symbolizing his step toward wisdom.

7.Luodai Tulou

(Hakka Cultural Pavilion)

Harry Wang | Eleventh Grade

Taken in July 2025 at Luodai Ancient Town in Chengdu, this photograph features the iconic Hakka Tulou of Luodai. The design of this Hakka building is modeled on the Yongding Tulou in Fujian, blending architectural styles from both Lingnan and Bashu regions.

This structure is much more than a building. Historically, it served as a hub for Hakka migrants—offering food, shelter and employment to newcomers; it was a center for mediating commercial affairs, housing spiritual practices, and sustaining cultural traditions. It embodies the persistence of cultural and mutual support.

Today, Chengdu’s inclusive and vibrant character owes much to such migrant cultures. A city’s culture is never static; external influences often bring renewed vitality. Outsiders should not be excluded—for the cultures they bring can enrich and sustain urban life.

8.“Convenience”

in the Wild

Thomas Wang | Sixth Grade

In the mountains of Yu County, a simple blue portable toilet stood alone against the vast natural landscape—an unexpected sight that immediately caught my attention.

This modest structure represents the most basic elements of civilization: sanitation, dignity, and care, even in remote environments. It suggests that human infrastructure, when thoughtfully considered, can coexist harmoniously with nature.

9.The Thinker’s Burden

Teresa Hu | Ninth Grade

Taken in front of the United Nations headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland, this photograph focuses on The Thinker’s Burden, a sculpture entangled by plastic bottles.

Through close-up composition, the image draws attention to excessive plastic use and pollution. The woman entangled in vines symbolizes the Earth, visually showing that if the Global Plastic Treaty is not advanced, the planet’s burden of plastic will only grow heavier.

The Earth does not need saving. What truly needs saving is ourselves.

10.From Everywhere

to Anywhere

Carson Yuan | Tenth Grade

This photograph captures a port in Boston, stacked with colorful shipping containers—some arriving from across the globe, others preparing to depart.

Maritime shipping plays a vital role in globalization, transporting over 80% of the world’s goods by volume. Yet this convenience comes at an environmental cost, contributing to greenhouse gas emissions, ocean pollution, climate change, and biodiversity loss.

If the world hopes to reduce pollution and carbon footprints, both corporations and consumers must recognize the environmental impact of production and consumption.

11.The Embroidery Granny

JJ Dong | Ninth Grade

Taken in a Li village in Zhangjiajie, Hunan Province, this photograph portrays an elderly woman supporting her family through embroidery. While many young people have left to work elsewhere, elders remain—sustaining livelihoods through craftsmanship.

Her focused, serene gaze reflects dignity. The embroidery in her hands is more than a product; it is a continuation of culture and self-reliance.

This image echoes SDG Goal 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth, reminding us that inclusive economic development depends on participation from all—regardless of age or location.

12.Glare

Joe Zhou | Eleventh Grade

In this photograph, the subject’s true image echoes its reflection. While external voices may attempt to define gender, one’s authentic self remains unchanged.

The reflection in the glass appears fragile and untouchable—yet it always mirrors the truth of who we are.

13.Difference

Artin Anwar | Eighth Grade

I took this photo in the Paris metro while I was with my mother and her friend. I was observing the people around me—people of different nationalities and skin tones, talking and smiling at each other.

I did not know whether they knew one another. But in that moment, they were connecting. As the train passed and the shutter clicked, the image transformed—capturing difference not as division, but as shared humanity.

Due to the word limit, the Artist Guide has been shortened.
