About this artwork
"Gorge" is a haunting masterpiece, rendered in deep oily black acrylic that delves into the shadows of the fast fashion industry's impact on our planet. This artwork is a stark, unflinching representation of the harm inflicted upon the Earth. Acrylic paint, applied with purpose, creates a textured surface, reminiscent of oil slicks, symbolizing the pollution that stains our planet.
The frame of the artwork is dressed with garments, twisted fabrics… winding their way around it, forming a chaotic yet deliberate pattern. Among these, a neckhole positioned over a corner draws immediate attention, an unsettling reminder of the strangulation of nature by the fashion world's excesses.
"Gorge" confronts viewers with the harsh reality of our consumer-driven culture, urging us to reconsider the true cost of our fashion habits.
