Territory and sustainability: graphic expressions against a dystopia

Abstract

The disruptive events that have occurred in recent years encourage us to determine that science does not make free assessments of the climate situation. The territory, its resources, are in a phase of depredation, the environment, attacked. The result is a process of environmental degradation without a solution of continuity. We take great care in environmental words and discourses, we ignore the value of the image, that of "an image is worth a thousand words", which refers us to the value of graphic expression. Through its analysis in this article, we claim it as a proactive weapon in the defense of the environment, in the fight for a new paradigm alien to growing systems, to an educational environment to reverse the situation and determine environmental stability. Actions are difficult, but they are possible, and in chromatic semiotics we find a fundamental ally. The emotion, the feeling, is the first asset to remove to start the path of reversal.
