30 Emotionally Powerful Ads Promoting A Better World

Art can be used to express emotions that one cannot otherwise express. Fear, excitement, sadness, love. A piece of art can bring a feeling to life, and help others understand the artist's personal life/messages on a deeper level.

This type of transparency has been noticed by organizations and socio-cultural artists looking to bring awareness to different social problems. Using the power of art, these individuals / groups were able to convey powerful messages through provocative imagery that really makes you think about the social issue they choose to focus on.
