Bush fires that continue to devastate Australia have inspired people to share their grief and heartbreak through poignant pieces of art.
Art works from around the world have been shared widely online and, for many, have provided the perfect way to illustrate their sadness without using words.
At least 25 people have died in the fires that have ravaged parts of Australia since the situation intensified late last year.
A staggering one billion animals have perished.
Among the artworks shared is one created by Melina Illustrate, an artist from Greece.
