The disaster is an artwork inspired by The great wave by Hokusai. During this two-week module, we had to make something that was important for you. I decided to make this work about the environment en trash littering. I deeply care about our planet and I find it horrible that i’s being treated so bad. 

That’s why decide to make something to show this exact problem. The original artwork was about how the sea controlled humans and how scary nature could be. But that was made in 1820 and a lot has changed since then. Nowadays we don’t live with the same fears they did back then. Now we’re in control and by being that we’re destroying the oceans. We throw our trash in the sea and expect it to just fix itself. This is far from true and it’s becoming a really big problem. so bad that scientists believe that we won’t be able to eat any more food from the seas in a few years, cause of how much plastic and trash will be in the sea. I find this incredibly shocking and I want to help prevent this from happening. That’s why in my work you can see a big wave made out of plastic to show how scary that actually is. And let people think about the problem we’re facing.
