Thanks to the power of Photoshop, the powerful, not-far-fetched compilation is inspiring empathy across social media
The photos and videos of Australia ablaze are incredibly impactful — but there’s one image in particular that’s been stopping people in their tracks, and getting shared at viral levels on social media: In it, a young girl stands in knee-deep water wearing a gas mask and holding a koala as fire rages behind them.
“Wow this is so powerful!” noted one fan in the comments section of the original Dec. 22 post, by Australia-based photographer, identified only as Thu, of Thousandfold Photography. “With SO many photos of the fires and devastation people become numb to it.
She also responded to commenters asking which parts of the photo were real, explaining, “hi all, this image is photoshop. I live near the fires but not this close so we are not in direct danger. The original image is just of my daughter in the water. I created this piece out of sadness that was and still happening.”
Her latest photo has more than 10K likes on the original post alone, and that’s not counting the many times the image has been reposted by others on Instagram and shared to Facebook and Twitter.
