Artist Statement
The driving force behind my project shows what we are doing to the world in a relatable way to encourage people to understand the seriousness of climate change. The model in my work represents the human population whereas the plastic bag over their head symbolizes that society is suffocating. For me, it shows us what the earth is feeling every time we use a plastic bag. If we continue to burn fossil fuels, use disposable plastics, and cause carbon emissions, the earth is going to suffocate due to our behaviour. We need to start making a change now. If not, it is going to be too late. For more information visit aa0609portfolio.com/plasticworld or @visuals.andrechan on Instagram.
