Students made protest paintings about tree felling to oppose the large-scale cutting of trees for a new MLA quarters complex. Using art as activism, they created paintings that depicted the loss of urban greenery and the emotional toll of deforestation. Supported by local social groups, their creative protest sought to raise public awareness and call attention to the environmental impact of the project.
