Rebeca Gutierrez Fickling
Polyethylene Alchemy
My photograms are meant as metaphors to a plasticised world with a primary goal of demonstrating that the arts have a strong role in raising awareness about environmental issues. My work explores themes of the Anthropocene, a geological time period that we have recently entered where our earth systems are being altered by human activity. I use the sublime to make reference to our natural landscapes that gradually are buried by the plastic that will take hundreds of years to decompose. I am intrigued by the idea of this manmade material becoming a permanent substance among natural elements as plastics' reign begins to shift the landscapes of our planet.
