The work „The Future is Bright?“ depicts waves in all directions, transitioning from motives of pollution and suffocation into motives of greenery, nature and life in itself. The motives are constructed of recycled plastic, paper, textile, plants and other recycled materials.
„The Future is Bright?“ asks the biggest question nowadays, is there a better future for the environment? Therefore, is there a better future for us? Because we are the environment, we are the pollution, the waste, the plastics, the toxic chemicals… But we are also nature in all its pureness and harmony.
Illustrating that duality with recycled materials, the good and the bad of our relationship with nature, the artists hope to contribute to the growing awareness of environmental sustainability by promoting the sustainable management of natural resources in all spheres of life, including art. So the answer depends on you, what will you choose?

The work was produced in the context of collaborative art residency at Layer House and its centre for artistic residencies.
