Concept of the installation
Imagine this installation is set up on the beach in remote Island. All sculpture are made of recycle material such as plastic bottle, plastic bag, rubber, electric cords and cables. They all wash away from the ocean. They are represented the marine life under the sea that got destroy by discarded trash. The sculpture shape look like coral reef, coral flower, sea urchin, jellyfish and the blue image from the cyanotype on the wall is reflection of the clear water. They are the image of healthy nature that we used to see in the past. In the future if we still not consider about reduce, reuse, recycle, saving the energy and making the eco-friendly choice. Our nature will look like this installation. All the nature will be destroy by waste materials. We should concern about keep our nature cleaner and healthier to save our mother earth.
This installation is part of my “Cyanoture Project” collection that I have worked for couple years. The concept is to use my recycled sculpture and cyanotype photogram as departure point to create a new or combine artwork in different format or medium. They can be mixed media, printmaking, sculpture, installation or animation.
The installation has 4 main parts.
