Self-Destruction
In this ever changing world it is important that we stay present, that we do not get lost in the everyday happenings of our own lives and forget to look up, look around and then look within. In order to move forward, as individuals, as a society, as a world community, we have to be aware.
The message that we have chosen to embody in our 45 symbols is one of awareness. A state of awareness that we do not feel is realistically achieved by the majority of the world community. While it is common knowledge that there is global climate change in effect, a certain sense of denial amongst some and perhaps a removal of the self from the effects of such seem to prevail.
We have chosen to represent both the causes and effects of climate change on one sphere, many of which each person interacts with on a day-to-day basis. By doing so one is faced with accountability. The connections between individual actions and global events are exposed. It thus becomes evident that we are not merely isolated islands, but rather one body, living, breathing and acting together.
We aim to abolish this personal bubble and to connect individuals on a global scale, as one world community, facing the same challenge. We worked as a group of four, as we were all born and breed in Johannesburg. The members of our group are: Danielle Rouillard, Marcel Sadowski, Siane Power and Jessica Donner.
