a) The circle of children shows the life cycle and that humans must 
take care of the nature for the best future of children.
b) The artist’s idea is to send a message that people are looking 
at mobile phones all the time. Electronic devices give us 
information, but we stop thinking about the real world.
c) The sentence on the monument says that humans must not be 
cruel to animals.
d) It was created as a message to show how important nature is.
People must think of how to take care of the beauty all around 
them. We can do things with our hands.
e) It shows a problem of the dirty ocean to people and the fact that plastic 
may kill a lot of sea animals. We must keep rivers, seas and oceans clean.
f) The message of the sculpture is that people in the modern world have a 
lot of problems, but they should stay strong.
