Ships in a Crate
The work is a part of "The Lost Planet" series dedicated to the environmental problems and climate change issues. The artist covers the basis of the artwork with a bronze leaf. The material, widely used in antiquity and especially in the 19th-20th centuries as a main part of small coins, symbolizes accessibility and probitability for the economic policy of many states. Nevertheless, gradually by the beginning of the 21st century, practically all developed countries stopped using it in coinage. In this example Kapchuk highlights a human-nature relationships focusing on natural resources. The material was used to the maximum and withdrawn from circulation, as it is no longer needed. The bronze coating remained on the medals for the competitors who took third place - honorable, but a little offensive. Kapchuk raises an even more important issue. The race for the future has begun. Humanity is clearly losing in the struggle for existence and an environmentally friendly situation in the world, without catastrophes. World leaders, politicians, international organizations and eco-activists declare their contribution to the solution of the situation and urge to follow their example, bathing in applause and believing that in this way they took their prize place on the world podium. Our planet may not endure this binal marathon, in which everyone will turn out to be losers, where even an offensive third place will become so coveted, but will be unattainable for us. Each coin has a downside, and it would be better for humanity to not see this one. The work presented in limited edition of 1 piece.

Natalia Kapchuk is a Russian-born London-based artist. She works in mixed media, exploring ecological issues, global effects of pollution as well as protection of the environment. The artist’s main interests are the life on this planet, biodiversity of various countries, continents and vast expanses of oceans – the theme that never fails to inspire and spurs one to search for new expressive means and experiment in media, such as wood, resi-crete, plastic, glass bits and metallic grit, natural stones, crystals, diamond dust and gold leaf. Natalia Kapchuk travels a lot around the world getting inspired by natural beauty to emphasize global environmental problems and negative impact of industrial waste. In the art project titled «The Lost Planet» she highlights such issues as environmental damage and critical amounts of plastic waste in the waters of the world's ocean. In order to contrast natural materials (such as tree bark, sand, natural stones, crystals, fermented moss) and enhance the effect, Kapchuk experiments with industrial materials like polymers and resi-crete, diamond dust, gilding, metal chips and plastic. As a philanthropist and an art ambassador of the Parliamentary Society of Arts, Fashion and Sport (UK) Natalia Kapchuk keeps drawing attention to important environmental issues affecting the future of our planet, and seeks to promote harmonious coexistence of humans in every corner of the world.
