Fallacy

2020

Mixed Media (Found mirror, artificial grass patch. Mask made from metal pieces, latex.)
Dimensions variable

Humans have been encroaching on wildlife and damaging the environment. They have destroyed the natural ecosystem in the process. Instead of recognising what humans have done, they have tried to justify their actions. No matter how much effort is made to reduce the damage, what people have done is irreversible and is a progression to the downfall of humans.

This installation Fallacy examines this issue and is a critique our human actions and how it is adversely impacting the environment. Fallacy consists of a found wood-framed mirror and a face mask made of metal wires found in disposable masks. The use of the wires from disposable face masks is a response to the current increased use of masks as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. These wires are constructed in the form a grid that reminds one of a cage, symbolic of a kind of entrapment.

This wire-made face mask is suspended in front of the mirror for the viewers to put themselves in a position to look at themselves from behind the mask, as they step onto a patch of artificial grass.

As the viewer steps into position, they are forced to look and reflect on themselves in the position whereby we are all encaged and inescapable of the fact that humans are causing damage to the natural environment.
