Trouble in the Jar - Spread 4

Brittney’s senior thesis, Trouble in the Jar, is a 48-page silent children’s book that follows Sorceress Alara, who processes magical terrariums, and how harvesting materials from the terrariums mirrors the real-world issues of resource depletion and climate change, emphasizing the theme that actions have consequences.

Spread 4 depicts the main character, Alara, cleansing the cottage by burning herbs. Alara accidentally leaves the herbs burning next to the deciduous forest terrarium, causing smoke to fill the terrarium and pollute the environment.
