Parasol, stand, plastic magnifying sheets, zip ties, beach chair
74” x 70” x 70”
This work contains a parasol with its fabric removed and replaced by magnifying sheets, it stands next to a beach chair, doing the exact opposite of its initial design. With this piece I question how greenwashing and bandaid solutions are used to distract from the real contributors of CO2 emissions. This piece considers our roles and responsibilities as individuals and as a collective?
