Less (Plastic) Is More
Coral Reef on Plastic Spray Bottle
2023
Watercolor and Ink on Cotton Paper
26 x 36 cm (12,2 x 14,1inches)
UNFRAMED PAINTING
This painting comes unframed for ease of shipping.
I would recommend taking a bigger frame and getting a custom passe-partout so it doesn’t touch the glass. A painting that touches the glass can be ruined due to possible condensation.
"Less (Plastic) Is More” was made during the “for planet ocean” challenge which I co-hosted with other artists.
Here is the little text I wrote to go with this one:

🌊 Artivism: Protect What We Love
---
🌍 Everything we do has an impact on our surroundings and eventually back on us.
We've been experiencing higher temperatures in spring and summer all over Europe with draughts following and most groundwaters aren't able to keep up. It's not going to get better.
💪To keep it short, we need society to change drastically.
One really small thing you can do right away is to consume less, especially meat and animal products, but also transportation and electronical products. See what you consume and cut it in half.
🌿 Don't count on the "green energy transition", it never started and can't happen. Right now we simply consume more and more energy of all kinds every year and the "green energies" aren't replacing any of the fossil ones.
They actually need a lot of fossil energies to even exist... 🤦♀️
