HappyTottii - Mirror of Society "Biking Through Trash" Collage by Doris Taussig

Collage: Metal, Digital, Wood, Plastic, Environmental on Canvas, Plastic, Wood, Paper, Other.

HappyTottii is an Emoticon focused on love and luck. The viewer is animated to think about the environment and animals that actually want to live peacefully. This is transferable to humans, too.
HappyTottii new edition about "Mirror of Society" wants to animate the viewer to rethink the way of life.

My passion is watching people: how they behave and what they do. This is my inspiration for HappyTottii, and everyone can find themselves on one of the 650 emoticons, and I am planning to expand to 3000.

More recently I moved away from purely on-line emoticons and started the HappyTottii "Art Series". These are unique works, printed on canvas and combined with a collage. In my first series "Mirrors of Society" I am very concerned with environmental pollution. My work shows people (or HappyTottiis) as they are: Everyone is happy even though they do things that are harmful to the environment.


Every image is drawn with Adobe Illustrator and processed manually after printing. Added natural elements like dried flowers, etc. can change their appearance with time. Colors do not look totaly the same like they are in nature on picture.
