ABOUT THE ARTWORK

I picture plastic pollution and its harmful impact on sea animals. As a proud pet owner, experiencing unconditional love and loyalty from an animal was my source of inspiration for these pieces. I find it selfish to think of our planet as a place for only humans to live and feel safe. I believe, with every fiber of my being, that every being on our planet has the right to feel safe and live without worries for their tomorrow. I incorporated symbolic Persian design that represents beauty and life. I depicted vibrant flowers with saturated colors on the bodies of each animal. In order to capture the audience’s attention on the negative impact that plastic pollution, I decided to paint some parts of the animal’s body black and white; a colorless approach to highlight the indecency. The black and white parts, which disrupt the order of the colorful patterns, symbolize the human-made disruption in the order of nature. I used the value spectrum of grays to symbolize death and the struggle of the animals to survive and stay alive. In creating my artworks, I used acrylic medium as a wet adhesive to create collage. I collaged on the subject and on the background. I also used plastic wrap for the background in order to capture the feeling under water. For each piece, I collaged every-day plastic objects that pollute the environment and endanger the lives of sea animals.
