作者導賞！

1.《雨林精靈》

姜豫行 7年級

這只正在葉子上休息的蛙叫華西雨蛙，分布在中國南方部分地區和越南。雨后，它們喜歡趴在玉米葉、田邊樹上或者灌木叢上大聲嗚叫。

2.《生命的舞蹈》

姜豫行 7年級

多孔菌是一種野生菌類，生長在朽木上。在它成熟之后，只有5-7天的生命。在這期間，它會一直產生孢子，并把它們散發出去。閃光燈照射下的孢子，跳出了一支生命的舞蹈。

我想通過以上兩幅作品展示自然的美好，進而啟發大家關注——人類考慮自身利益時，我們應該先想想是否會對大自然帶來危害。保護陸地生物，人類才能在這個星球上活得更久。

3.《發電站》

周秦 11年級

巴特西發電站是1930年代建于倫敦的蒸汽發電站，現在已經被更大、更環保的核電站替代。

巴特西發電站在2022年與馬來西亞資本合作，改造成為可持續發展的居住、商業、文化中心：曾經用于排廢氣的煙囪現在是城市觀光的電梯（如上圖）；屋檐上的人工鳥巢是候鳥的歇腳點；屋頂變成了2700平米的碳中和花園。

如今，每天有無數人住在巴特西發電站社區，來這里游玩購物。當然，也有少數平克弗洛伊德粉絲來發電站外面站著，啥也不干，就為了致敬專輯封面。

4.《景區》

張子謙 11年級

這張照片是我在烏蘭察布的火山景區拍攝的。

雖然景區明確規定不允許售賣和燃放煙花棒，但為了促進旅客的消費和旅游，很多商家依然販賣煙花棒等嚴重污染環境的產品。

這些產品用后也沒有得到正確的處理，即便垃圾桶就擺放在一旁，人們還是隨手將用完的煙花棒等消費產品扔在一旁。清潔人員只能一點一點的把它們撿走。

5.《改造與歡樂》

張圣初 11年級

這張照片拍攝于一個打包廠的舊址，記錄了一位父親和他的孩子在陽光中歡樂打卡拍照游玩的畫面。

舊工廠打包廠改造后成為孩子游玩的空間。這種改造讓原本可能閑置或不符合現代需求的建筑，轉變為服務于居民的公共空間，有助于提升城市的包容性，為市民提供更多休閑、交流的場所，促進社會融合。

同時，改造過程注重可持續性，對既有建筑進行再開發，減少了資源浪費，符合可持續發展的理念，也是應對城市發展中住房、基礎設施和服務滯后等問題的一種積極實踐，助力打造更宜居、面向未來的城市，與SDG目標 11 的核心要求相契合。

6.《智慧之門》

陳冉桐 11年級

這是我在拉薩扎西寺拍到的住持。他非常年輕，25歲 ，但已經是扎西寺的住持了，還出版了好幾本書。

他從門中經過時，我按下了快門，他的背影像極了這扇門的鎖眼，他腳下的一步步也寓意著開啟了通往智慧的大門。

7.《洛帶博客樓》

王朗皓 11年級

這張照片我2025年7月攝于四川省成都市洛帶古鎮。照片中正是洛帶古鎮的著名建筑——博客樓。

此客家古樓整體參照福建永定樓打造，融合了嶺南與巴蜀建筑風格。然而在我看來，它遠不止是一棟建筑。在當年，此處是客家人同鄉互助的樞紐：為新來的移民提供食宿、介紹工作；是商業議事的中心：協調生意、處理糾紛；是信仰寄托的場所：供奉家鄉的神祇；也是文化傳承的空間：舉辦家鄉的節慶活動。它是文化存續的體現。

如今，成都市作為中國西南地區的核心城市，正是這些不同的移民文化，造就了成都包容、多元、繁榮的城市氣質。一個地區的文化，不應是內部固有的。外來文化的注入，往往能為城市帶來新的活力。在我們身邊，有的人會討厭外地人。有的人從小在一處長大，看不慣自己的文化被改變和沖擊。然而，外地人真的該被排斥嗎？不，他們帶來的文化或許能為城市帶來更多活力。

8.《山野間的“方便”》

王子天 6年級

在河北蔚縣的自然的大山里，有一個藍色的簡易衛生間，好像一個獨一無二的意外的風景，吸引了我的注意。簡易的衛生間展現了人們在偏遠的自然環境中最基礎的文明、衛生和尊嚴，也讓人類的衛生設施可以與環境和諧共處。

9.《圍困她的塑料》

胡天愛 9年級

這張照片拍攝于瑞士日內瓦聯合國總部的門前。雕像的名稱是“The Thinker’s Burden”。我使用特寫的構圖形式，聚焦于被塑料瓶簇擁纏繞的雕塑，目的是為引發人類對塑料使用過度和污染的思考。

縈繞著藤蔓的女性象征地球，直觀的為人類展現出如若不推進《全球塑料條約》的達成，地球將持續背負著塑料之困。同時，對于環境的保護是全人類需要在可持續發展道路上攜手邁進的關鍵，因為地球不需要人類的拯救，需要拯救的，是我們自己。

10.《從世界各地到天涯海角》

袁思成 10年級

這張照片拍攝的是波士頓的一個港口，那里堆放著五顏六色的集裝箱。這些集裝箱要么是從世界各地運來的，要么是準備運送到大洋彼岸的。這一幕提醒我們，現代海運在當今世界全球化中發揮著重要作用。它對全球貿易至關重要，因為它為世界上貨物體量的80%以上提供運輸，使我們能夠輕松獲得來自世界各地的產品。

然而，我們不能忘記這個行業背后的環境成本。它造成了全球約2%的溫室氣體排放，污染了世界海洋，促進了氣候變化和海洋生物多樣性的喪失。因此，如果世界想要采取行動減少污染和碳足跡，企業和消費者需要認識到其成生產和消費對環境的影響。

11.《繡花奶奶》

董浩宇 9年級

這張照片拍攝于湖南張家界的黎寨。在那里，我看到寨中大多年輕人已外出務工，而留在家鄉的多是年長者。他們依靠手藝維持生計、支撐家庭。這位奶奶坐在長廊中，一針一線繡制手中的作品，也靜靜等待著偶爾前來詢問的游人。 她的目光專注而從容，手中的繡品不僅是一件商品，更是一份有尊嚴的勞動，是文化與生計的溫柔延續。

這張照片呼應了SDG的第8項——“體面工作和經濟增長”。它深刻地提醒我們：經濟的包容性增長離不開每一個人的參與，無論年齡、無論地域。這種自力更生、堅守傳統的工作方式，是支撐家庭與社區的深沉力量，也是經濟增長中不可或缺的一環。

12.《反光》

周秦 11年級

照片拍攝于英國，人物的真實影像與反光呼應。外界的聲音可能會塑造或定義性別，但他們自己真實的樣子不應也不會應這些聲音而改變。玻璃中的反光看似脆弱，觸摸不到，但反射的永遠是自己真實的樣子。

13.《不同》

陶安然 8年級

我是在巴黎和媽媽，以及媽媽的朋友一起時拍下這張照片的。當時我在地鐵里，看著這些人。他們來自不同的國家，有著不同的膚色。大家彼此交談著、微笑著，我并不知道他們是否原本認識，但那一刻他們正在交流。就在我按下快門的時候，地鐵正好駛過，所以照片呈現出一種很特別、很好看的效果。

因篇幅限制，作品說明有刪減。

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.
