To date, I carry on this project of ecological awareness towards the pollution of the sea due specifically to cigarette butts through my works of art. I am creating an installation made up of the collection of swimwear models and beachwear accessories entirely composed of this highly polluting waste, which I personally collect on the beach.
Cigarettes Beachwear collection summer edition draws attention to the presence of the large amount of this waste found right in the vicinity of the natural areas of beaches and rocks. This object therefore emphasizes the problem of disposing of this waste, abandoned by the neglect and distracted gesture of millions of individuals who do it every day. The cause of great concern for the health of the sea and the creatures that inhabit it has generated in me the need to collect, document and create something with this material.
A Cigarette bikini or a Cigarette swimsuit or any garment of cigarette butts of my creation, wants to demonstrate in a creative and immediate way, how it is possible to give new shape to this material. Being an artist and not a scientist or a specialized technician, I gave my interpretation of reuse with the means that I am able to master in the creation of a work of art.
For this particular occasion I would like to offer you the entire collection in an installation that offers the user a store
