Project #4: Performance art
Artist statement “Tree Hugger”:
I realized how much I really love the earth and how much I’m connected to it. Which is why almost all my projects have something to do with the environment (sorry not sorry).
In this project my goal was to hug trees in the public eye. I feel that the words “tree hugger” have a negative connotation to it, at least to me. I’ve seen people mocking others for being “tree huggers”, or laughing it off. This term generally means to protect the environment, and to belittle this term is to mock all the bad things we’ve done to nature and to those who are trying to protect it.
In this video I’m trying to bring awareness to that negative stereotype and bring awareness of nature and to love it more.
It was quite fun making this project, even though I got confused stares with everyone driving by! It was worth it! Hope you guys like it!
Just reposting to make sure people can see this since I posted it really early 😅
