«We received works of excellence that evoke the special relationship of human beings with water and with nature in general. We are aware that man's action on the environment has become increasingly unsustainable and destructive, and it is increasingly important to promote environmental awareness actions to support the construction of a new and improved relationship between man and nature, which is currently a threat to the survival of the various species of animals on our planet, including ours. The purpose of this competition was precisely for each participant to reflect on their relationship with the natural resources at our disposal», adds Teresa Fernandes.
