Save the Wildlife! - 2021
Collection Concept: Save the Wildlife!
No metaphors here. Wild animals that live in the forests of Romania (bears and lynxes in particular) are under threat. Poachers are hunting them down, their natural habitat is reduced through deforestation. We need to talk more about this and to find sustainable solutions to this problem.
The pieces from my collection are built around cut out shapes of wild animals, as some sort of targets in a shooting range. The shapes, the negative spaces, the binding elements, various textures, all work together in creating a powerful visual impact in order to express a clear and concise political message. If we do nothing, these majestic wild animals will disappear and we will not be able to bring them back to life.
