Dissemination description: 'Through Our Eyes' was a pop-up exhibition designed for students to communicate their perspectives through images, conveying powerful messages aimed at inspiring change. The exhibition is displayed on a lightweight, foldable screen, making it easy to transport and set up in various locations around the school to attract attention. In addition to being showcased within the school, the exhibition was featured at events such as Pet/Family Day and the Animal Awareness event, where the external community was invited to the school. There are also plans to display it at the local council during the Easter Holidays and at Xrobb L-Għagin during the summer, extending its reach to the broader community.

This powerful image highlights the growing issue of over construction in Malta and the relentless pace of development. The towering cranes symbolize how the balance between preserving our natural environment and the drive for expansion is increasingly tipped in favour of greed. The photograph raises the urgent question: When will this rapid development stop, and how much more of our landscape will be lost in the process?
