Kalli Christensen - 2022

Artist's Statement

This project was inspired by the work of Giles Cenazandotti, who transformed plastic trash washed ashore from the ocean, into sculptures of recycled animals. I used photographs that show pollution and turned them into a collage, each one taking the shape of a fish and human lungs, respectively. Along with the collage is a quote. Each photo contains a hyperlink, as well, to articles explaining our pollution crisis and the threat it is to our planet. My process was easy, yet I took deliberate time to find photographs that would stand out. The credit for each photo belongs to the artists/photographer and I did not capture any of the images.
