“Useless, Priceless”

A word from the artist :

“The work is inspired by the film Cruella. We transform the old newspaper and plastic garbage bags regarded by ordinary people into pleated skirts, with the gorgeous colors of the sunset of Gongga Mountain and the romantic and beautiful background. The person, the dress and the scenery create this fascinating work. Making something useless priceless is a good way for us to participate in environmental protection.”

About the IDEARTS

Art can be defined in a thousand different manners. In today’s world, it is increasingly regarded as a way to learn and share about sustainability and green technologies; as a lever to raise awareness on climate change and throw light on workarounds for global warming; as a means to better understand the problematics of our times and the prospects for our future.

For its very first edition, Vadviam’s IDEARTS programme has invited Architecture and Landscape Architecture students from renowned Shanghai Jiao Tong School of Design to create artworks intended to illustrate environmental issues and offer solutions for global sustainability.
