In a world where art is a mirror to society's deepest complexities, I strive to ignite dialogue, and inspire change through my creations. In the piece "I ❤️ PARIS," I've deconstructed the widely recognized logo, vandalising it with graffiti-style text representing The Paris Agreement. This juxtaposition sparks contemplation about societal values, particularly in the context of climate injustice that disproportionately affects marginalized and young populations. Graffiti, an act of rebellion and expression for many, serves as a potent medium in my work. It amplifies the voices of those often young, urging older people to listen, empathize, and take action. Through this unconventional fusion of mediums, I aim to highlight the urgency of upholding the promises set forth by The Paris Agreement.
