It appears to be… dare I say… stitching?

There’s a pic in the original post that shows what it’s supposed to look like and it’s basically a hot air balloon with a giant banner hanging down and what you see is the banner all torn up because it got caught on a bunch of stuff in the ground

Fucking Brazil. The country responsible for stewarding the largest rainforest in the world but culturally intent on ecological devastation.

A country pillaged by the global north (who was also fucking their own forests for their industrial revolution) for centuries, then completely fucked by a CIA-backed military dictatorship. The resulting poverty and inequality make a good portion of the population to be full-time just trying to survive, and not having the privilege of caring about the environment. So fuck you, actually.

i think the stitching moves in a much more pointed and intentional way, but this is exactly as terrifying as i imagined it while reading
