Artist Statement

To be both ethical and in style is a struggle for students and adults alike. As plastic makes up most of the fast-fashion world, trying to blend in with the attractive crowd contradicts the urge to do what’s right for the climate crisis. Unethical brands can be a cheap and easy solution to keep up with fashion so teenagers turn a blind eye on the global repercussions. As people buy into trends that last only a month, garbage accumulates around us. Materials are usually made with plastic, which is an economically smart choice for large corporations, but a fatal one for our planet. The garment on the model, in my image, slowly chokes and envelopes her body. It becomes clear that the look of a beautiful fashion choice goes hand in hand with a garbage garment. Falling into the pit of wasteful clothes clogs the gutters of nature, as well as the conscience of young people’s minds.
