This is an introduction to my visual storytelling study of Jamaica’s natural environments. Using my iPhone as a main tool, I document the tropical island’s biodiversity while exploring how nature and technology connect. The study combines creativity and a scientific view to look at topics like protecting the environment, cultural traditions, and how people interact with the natural world. It also reminds us that taking care of our surroundings is important for living a healthy and peaceful life.

From time to time, I use some of these images to create art, using various image manipulation techniques to transform them into flowing environmental visual stories. This subject is deeply meaningful in my work.

Ultimately, this study reflects my belief that as the world evolves technologically, the people of this nation must not only celebrate the natural gems of Jamaica—a land of vibrant contrasts, where the sun-kissed beaches, lush mountains, and rich culture come together to create an enchanting atmosphere, an island nestled in the Caribbean Sea—but also draw attention to the impacts of human activity, encouraging reflection on the need to protect these precious resources for generations to come.
