The flow, Amy Ly, 2020
I believe that nature never betrays humans, only humans betray themselves. Mother nature provides living creatures diverse and precious natural resources, some of them are even renewable. However humans don’t know how to respect nature’s gifts. People have abused and damaged nature heavily throughout times.
In my work I display a transformation of water flows. The top areas represent humans' impact on nature, the bottom represents nature, the ring in the centre represents humans' consumption of natural resources. People’s treatment of nature is getting worse, and while the water still flows, it's gradually turning black over time. As all of the materials I used in my work is plastic, I want to emphasize that plastic is also one of the immediate reasons which cause pollution.
