It was made by Bansky, a England based street artist, political activist and film director. He is famous but he keeps his identity a secret. He is known for delivering political messages through his work.

It is a close-up that shows a sentence on a white wall of a building that says : " I DON'T BELIEVE IN GLOBAL WARMING ". The scene takes place in the street of London. The setting is what could be a dystopian world. It takes place during the day in winter. The general atmosphere is sad and it is also very scary. It is flooding and the water cover a part of the words of " GLOBAL WARMING ". The word are in red and the letters are in capital.

The purpose of this graffiti is to deliver a message. It alarm people on climate change. In fact, the choice to put the words in red on a white wall would immediately raise the attention of people on the street. It is also very ironic because it says " I DON'T BELIEVE IN GLOBAL WARMING " while it is flooding and the waters is covering the words, showing the consequences of the climate change in the world.

I really love this graffiti. What I love is the way Bansky choose to alarm people on the street of London, in 2009, about climate change. He simply wrote " I DON'T BELIEVE IN GLOBAL WARMING " but we can see that the water is covering the words, it show the opposite of what the words involve.

I chose Angela Haseltine Pozzi because I find that her plastic sculptures
strongly participate in raising awareness about plastic pollution, since they are all made from plastics picked up on the beach. In addition, his sculptures can be a source of inspiration for ecological art because of their aesthetics, details and popularity since their first exhibition at the Oregon Zoo.


Angela Haseltine Pozzi was born on January 9, 1953 in San Francisco, California. She began creating art from beach trash in 2010, which led to the creation of the Washed Ashore Project, a nonprofit organization based in Bandon, Oregon, USA. Since then, she has created over 80 large-scale sculptures made from more than 26 tons of plastic debris. The sculptures have been displayed in museums, zoos, and aquariums across the United States, raising awareness about the importance of reducing plastic waste and protecting our oceans. In recognition of her achievements, Pozzi has received several awards, including the EPA's Ocean Hero Award in 2015 and the Coastal America Partnership Award in 2017.



In this photo, we can see sculptures of real marine animals that are made from plastic waste collected on the beaches of Oregon. The sculptures include sea turtles, sharks, jellyfish, and other marine creatures and are displayed as part of the "Washed Ashore: Art to Save the Sea" exhibition at the Oregon Zoo in Portland, USA.


The message behind the exhibition these sculptures is to raise public awareness of the problem of plastic pollution in the oceans and to encourage people to reduce their use of plastic. The sculptures of sea creatures presented in the exhibition are all made of plastic waste collected on the beaches of Oregon, which illustrates the devastating impact of plastic pollution on the marine environment.
The message of the exhibition is to make the public aware of the need to take measures to reduce plastic pollution and to fight against its harmful effects on marine animals and the environment in general. The exhibition also encourages people to adopt more sustainable and environmentally friendly practices to protect our planet.



Personally, when I looked at this photo for the first time, I was more impressed by the aesthetics of her sculptures, the close resemblance to reality. After a short, closer look I noticed that the sculptures were entirely made of plastic. I was shocked at the number of plastics that could be found on a beach and still it is only a small handful. It's sorry, what we are inflicting on our poor planet.

The photo was created as part of a series titled "Mermaids Hate Plastic," which aimed to raise awareness about ocean plastic pollution. The photo was taken in 2016 during a photoshoot organized by the artist for this series.

Benjamin Von Wong is the young Canadian photographer behind the "Mermaids Hate Plastic" photo series. He is known for his social and environmental engagement through his surrealist and artistic works that aim to raise people's awareness about important issues such as plastic pollution, chemicals in laundry detergents, and the challenges posed by climate change.

Benjamin Von Wong's "Mermaids Hate Plastic" photograph shows a mermaid emerging from a sea of plastic bottles, covered in plastic debris, creating a poetic yet unsettling image that aims to raise public awareness about plastic pollution in the oceans.

The message conveyed by Benjamin Von Wong through this photograph is to raise public awareness about plastic pollution in the oceans and encourage people to take action to protect our marine environment.

This image can evoke a sense of concern and sadness in the viewer about ocean pollution. It can also inspire awareness and engagement to combat this pollution. Finally, it can encourage people to reduce their plastic consumption and support public policies for the preservation of the environment.

 I think it's authentic, and it always expresses important messages. Furemother, I genuinely enjoy the singer.

-It was made by a man : Antony Gormley, he is a British contemporary artist born in 1950 in London. During the 1980s, he began to explore the notion of space by creating life-size sculptures that explore the limits of the human body and the environment. Antony Gormley's sculptures and installations are often considered both abstract and representational, reflecting a deep concern for the relationship between the human body and the space around it. His works are often monumental, creating a striking visual impact that invites viewers to reflect on their own relationship with the world around them.

-In the distance, it looks like the silhouette of a crouching man, which explains the nickname given by the Dutch " de poepende man "(the man who defecates in English), but if you get closer, it looks more like an abstract and chaotic metallic mass.

-The work "Exposure" was designed to explore themes of vulnerability, isolation and the relationship between the human body and the natural landscape. By exposing the statues to the natural environment and allowing them to experience the effects of the tides, Gormley seeks to illustrate how human beings are intimately connected to their surroundings and are influenced by the forces of nature. The installation also invites visitors to reflect on their own relationship with nature and their own vulnerability to environmental change.

Ultimately, "Exposure" is a thought-provoking work about our place in the natural world and the need to preserve that environment for future generations.

-My first reaction was : surprise. I didn't understand why there was something so big and ugly installed here. I was also confused by the appearance of the sculpture, which looks like a human body drifting in the water. 

-I decided to talk about this work 

because the sculpture is a monumental installation that immediately grabs the viewer's attention, making it a visually striking and memorable work. But also 

the sculpture evokes important and relevant ideas, such as human vulnerability to climate change and environmental disasters, making it an engaging and timely work.

On the studied work we can see a model with skirt and a bustier made in trays but also a spiral made in tray that she wears in the back. The model poses in a heap of waste.

I think that the artist wanted to show us that instead of throwing away our waste in any way we could reuse it and stop polluting because most of our waste, packaging, plastics, trays ... end up in the sea and kill fish, turtles ...

I think this is a good initiative because the designer shows that waste can also have its place in the world of fashion, a chic, sophisticated, clean place where we would never dare to introduce garbage. suchanatdo koewsangas does it and contributes to save the planet.

Lesley Chang is an American architect and designer who co-founded the architecture firm StudioKCA alongside Jason Klimoski.  His creations integrate sustainable concepts and ecotourism into everyday living environments. StudioKCA has designed other works, such as the public architecture installation Head in the Clouds which was completed for the 2013 edition of FIGMENT at Governor’s Island Park, New York. Or NASA’s Orbit Pavilion.

I chose this work because, first of all, I am a fan of whales (I love these animals). And because I find that the way it was made is really original. The message that Lesley Chang wants to convey with the rest of the studio.

The message that StudioKCA wants to convey is the urgent need to protect the oceans. As Jason Klimoski ( another founder of the studio) explained, “There is more plastic in the ocean than whales, so an opportunity like this, to show the different types of plastics and their quantity in the ocean is very important.”

When I see this work, I am amazed by the beauty and ingenuity of the work. I think it’s very realistic, it’s close to the humpback whale. I like the way the whale is positioned. The position reminds us of the whale’s beautiful jump from the water, and that because of the pollution we can lose this sight. And at the same time, I am shocked to see that there can be so much plastic waste in the ocean, and that the 5 tons used represent only 0.00003% of the waste that float in the ocean.

Yuumei aka Weiqing Yan is a 32-year-old American Chinese illustrator she is also a digital artist and a graphic novelist specialized in anime with the quote “even when the world is filled with sorrow, I will keep painting for that better tomorrow”. Cause when it comes to painting Miss Yan has two themes, environmentalism and social justice because it allows her to have a voice in society and show the world that even though she grew up under a polluted gray sky, she still has a green vision of the world.

The foreground of this art is quite colorful cause we can see a girl on top of a skyscraper holding a paintbrush in her hand as she is painting a colorful version of the background because the background is not as beautiful and colorful as the foreground. In the background we have a set of grey skyscrapers which covers a lot of grounds and the background seems quite sad . 

This art tells the world that the world would have been better without all the humans made, cause as we see in this art there is not sign of living on the background which is human made or ratter even if someone live there it will be quite sad. It also shows that where there is nature there is happiness so obviously there is also life cause of the foreground who didn't have as many human made furniture.

When if first saw this painting, I was like “Oh come on why I didn’t know this one it is so amazing and beautiful cause it shows such a bad reality”.

I choose this art because I may be only one that find this manga version of art so pretty. I am a big fan of manga so choose this painting a get a good feeling and vibe when i see it and i want to show it to the world just as Weiqing did.

Banksy is an irreverent and committed urban art artist who works under a pseudonym. His real name and exact identity are unknown and are still the subject of speculation. Apparently British and active since the 1990s, he was born on July 28, 1974 in Bristol, United Kingdom.

The work shows a child crouching near a small green plant and a shovel, holding an hourglass in a circle in his hand to mean that time is running out to save the planet. This is the symbol of the "Extinction Rebellion" movement, at the origin of the mobilization for "an ecological state of emergency" that blocked some emblematic places in London for eleven days. "From now on, despair ends and the tactics begin," it is written in large white letters next to the child wearing a scarf.

The painting echoes the mobilization of several thousand demonstrators who peacefully disrupted the British capital for eleven days by blocking bridges and arteries, climbing on the roofs of subways or sticking with glue to buildings. In total, the police made nearly 1,130 arrests and 69 people are expected to appear soon, in particular for obstruction of the public road and resistance to police action.

I chose this work, because the little girl's drawing completely impressed me, and Banksy chose this drawing to convey the message.

To conclude, I don't like the work, because I don't like the way the author presented the work and I don't like the way he put the girl in black relief.

And why did I make it so dark, I didn't understand that's why I don't like the work.
