Art is not a thing; It is a way.: February 2012

Art movement:

Cubism

Chosen Theme:

Environmentalism

Introduction:

Environmentalism is known as advocacy of the preservation, restoration, or improvement of the natural environment. The reason I choose this theme is because no matter where we go or what we do, it always related with our surrounding or environment.

Problem Statement:

Problem towards environment always being addressed by government or NGO and etc but there is less changes done. For example, deforestation, air pollution, go green and others.

Purpose:

The main purpose of my artworks is to raise awareness towards these problems that happen around us everyday. My inspirations from my surrounding such as friends, magazines, newspaper and so on.
