THINK DIFFERENTLY
The environment is at risk because of our actions. The challenges we face today, like climate change, really impact humans and other plant and animal species that coexist alongside us. As an artist and a human, I believe that positive impact starts with raising awareness and inspiring change...and art is one of the best tools to do that.
The main idea is to give a new life to single use face masks by creating beautiful abstract paintings using shapes and colours.
The below artwork is about the negative impact of advertisements on the environment. Advertisements are everywhere around us. On the TV, radio, social media, internet, newspaper, etc. Advertisements impact our behaviour because it results in "overconsumption" through buying non-essential goods. It also has a negative impact on the environment and biodiversity, where we are facing a climate change crisis. Unfortunately, consumerist culture is really an obstacle to creating change.
The “Think Differently” project aims to highlight a new type of pollution: COVID-19 waste. Hospitals, healthcare facilities and individuals are producing more and more waste from single-use face masks and gloves than ever before. According to environmental NGOs, waste from face masks and gloves is increasingly ending up on the streets and in the oceans, and has become more and more invisible to us. I came up with this project from witnessing many single use face masks strewn across the streets and parks of Paris, as shown in the picture below.
