THE GREED
2023
Wire, styrofoam, cardboard and newspaper articles about human greed
People are insatiable. This sculpture consists of newspaper articles about excessive enrichment at the expense of others, about wars, about the exploitation of people and nature, about the destruction of our forests and oceans, the poisoning of habitats through oil and coal extraction... In short, about all the stupidities and cruelties that have their origin in human greed.
PIGEONHOLE THINKING
2023
Styrofoam, cardboard and newspaper articles about discrimination against others based on their race, sexuality, skin color or religion
We all assign the person in front of us to a certain category. This serves the purpose of communication or our own protection. It only becomes dangerous when we look down on others , harm them or even kill them. Just because they happen to be of a different ethnicity, nationality, religion, gender or sexual orientation.
So much suffering results from our pigeonholing.
