Basic Info
Eyes burning like a zombie. I have just kept these five words on my mind from the poem damage. The main reason my mind was surrounded by the idea of creating something which consists eyes was because mainly eyes is one of the main five senses, Eyes is the fastest sense to see and understand something, that’s why, with eyes you can see the problem that the earth is facing: pollution, either cause of the fuels, of garbage…of everything that humanity is creating constantly without caring about consequences The portrait I have created is a human abstract on a crying emotion. Why? Because I wanted to show that with those destructions (gaseous pollutant, greenhouse effect, acid rain, and damage to the ozone layer, particulate matter, and climatic effects) earth cannot stand this anymore, we need change and we need it now, every single human being should be sensitized because literally if we stay idly the end of world will come shortly. Some details about my poster: There is a plastic bag in the mouth, with that way I’m showing that people in our days cannot express their feelings with free will, and they keep “eating” the garbage that government, and generally people with power (money) are giving to them without asking. It also cuts the oxygen from the mouth, just like the pollution Crying eyes because it’s an emotion with negative feelings, that’s why this must stop, and it must stop NOW Tears: it has two meanings, the definition that is given is either tear of the eye, or to tear, which means to pull or rip something to pieces or to a part with a force .Again I wanted to show the brutality of humans. I have tried to manipulate mostly recycled items on the portrait like cans, water and milk bottles because recycling is just the first in a series of steps that generates a host of financial, environmental, and social returns. And basically we can help to sustain the environment for future generations. Last but not least I have choose to use to main colors, blue and red a warm and a cold color Red is a focusing, dynamic and active energy while blue is cooling, calming and expansive. Blue with combination of red gives to us the color purple. It gives the feeling of re-balance to our life .you put purple on your life also if you want to remove any obstacles. Purple is believed to be the ideal color. Most children love the color purple. Children are the future, and the future must go on, it’s up to us if we want to save this planet, and it’s never too late.
