Imagined Jungles
In this series I incorporate the physical, organic materials found in Bali's nature and turn them into dream like places following my imagination.
Thus the colors created are based on feelings and intuition and are not predetermined, but a mere result of experiments.
In order to create a sense of abstraction, I'm using different discarded plastic materials and often some post manipulation as well.
In 1950, the world's population of 2,5 billion produced 1,5million tons plastic; today a global population of 7 billion people is producing over 320million tons of plastic. This is set to double by 2034. Every day approximately 8million pieces of plastic find it's way into the oceans.
With this series I would like to call attention on the impacts of our excessive plastic usage, hoping that it gets people inspired to start looking for other ways to repurpose plastic, and new alternatives to substitute it in their everyday lives, but at the same time to also look at plastic in different ways- perhaps it can be beautiful and recycled as a form of artwork too.
This series is available for purchase via Saatchiart.
