Generally, it means various countries in the region must unite under the Montreal Protocol to prevent ozone layer in order to ensure the sustainability of our planet.
On left side of the hand highlights the ozone layer, which is cracked by many human-caused factors. This section identifies some of the causes of ozone depletion, such as factory exhaust fumes, spray cans, refrigerators, air conditioners, and products that contain ozone depleting substances such as Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) etc. In addition, it also shows some effects such as global warming, climate change, melting of polar ice caps that can cause floods, rising sea levels, causing famine, drought especially affected to life on earth, such as humans, animals, plants, etc., due to the decline in the ability of Ultra-violation of ozone.

Moreover, the painting also features portraits of vaccinated women and farmers and also significantly shows the use of air conditioners that do not contain ozone depleting substances to store the vaccine because the demand for vaccines is definitely huge, which requires the use of environmentally friendly air conditioners and encourages people to get vaccinated to protect themselves from the deadly Covid-19 disease.
