The work reflects in an informal way on current issues in western society regarding ecology/climate change and the economical/social/ideological crisis, suggesting that a more holistic approach to reality could balance mentioned issues.

During exhibition time there will be creative workshops where we watch film, then the public would be able to comment own associations and thereafter I as an artist would go in more specific and ask in how we could make an impact in our own lives to live more sustainable. After brainstorming ideas, time would be allocated for creative work in writing,drawing and painting and these would then be put up on walls in gallery as inspiration to the public.
