IT SEEMED SUCH A GOOD IDEA
Beach landscape ‘IT SEEMED SUCH A GOOD IDEA’ is a powerful mixed media collage artwork that exposes the contrasts between youthful freedom and environmental degradation.
Two silhouettes of children jump carefree into the sea, an image reminiscent of summer days at the beach. But beneath the surface, the artwork reveals a disturbing reality: the ocean is filled with plastic bottles and trash.
This melancholic landscape highlights the consequences of human pollution and raises questions about the future of our natural environment. The combination of textures, layers and materials in this mixed media technique gives the work a layered, almost tangible depth.
The title, ‘It Seemed Such a Good Idea’, subtly refers to the shortsightedness of human decisions that once seemed positive, but turn out to have disastrous consequences.
This artwork invites reflection on the impact of plastic pollution on our beaches and oceans. Perfect for lovers of meaningful contemporary art with ecological awareness.
