The Los Angeles-based artist and musician imagines Earth as a living flower cradled by human hands for EARTHDAY.ORG’s global theme, “Our Power, Our Planet.”
LOS ANGELES, CA. – EARTHDAY.ORG has commissioned Los Angeles-based artist and musician Miles Wintner to create the official artwork for Earth Day 2026, anchoring the organization’s global theme, Our Power, Our Planet™, with a singular image that is at once tender and monumental.
Wintner’s composition, titled Earthflower, depicts our planet as a bloom held and admired in human hands, a figure of collective care drawn at a scale that renders the gesture both intimate and surreal. The image will appear across EARTHDAY.ORG’s global campaign materials, reaching an estimated network of over 150,000 partner organizations in more than 192 countries as more than 5,600 registered events take shape in the lead-up to April 22.
“I wanted to convey this particular type of power as a bold and singular image that captures both the tenderness and strength of humanity’s relationship with the planet. It made sense to represent Earth as a flower being admired, held, and cared for by human hands,” said Wintner. “Flowers are perfect examples of collective power, acting as essential ecological connectors that foster harmonious relationships between birds, insects, and humans. The scale of the Earthflower against the hand represents the strange, surreal wonder of human existence in a time where we have no choice but to be intently planet-minded. The world is in all of our hands.”
Wintner is a self-taught artist and designer whose work draws from natural phenomena such as light, sound, gravity, photosynthesis, wildlife, wind, precipitation, combustion, and celestial bodies alongside language, signage, and the visual culture of everyday life. Born, raised, and residing in Los Angeles, he works across visual art and music, developing a practice that moves fluidly between the organic and the symbolic.
Earth Week runs April 18-22, 2026, with flagship actions confirmed in Philadelphia, Miami, Detroit, Raleigh, and dozens of cities internationally, including Mumbai, Nairobi, New Delhi, and Taipei. The full event map is available at earthday.org/earth-day-2026.
EARTHDAY.ORG’s mission is to broaden, educate and activate the environmental movement worldwide. Growing out of the first Earth Day in 1970, EARTHDAY.ORG is the world’s largest recruiter to the environmental movement, working with more than 150,000 partners in over 192 countries to drive positive action for our planet.
