Engender

For my piece I have used three damaged and abandoned cars to turn them into Planters. I would like to install them (after the Exhibition) in different public places as spreading idea like how a seed travels with the air and become a tree. It deals with the idea of transport, and movement. It has its own effect on the environment, and human life. I am interested in taking it as a seed. A seed can carry a tree of the future in it and natural resources transport it from one end to another. Art also plays the same role and ideas empower art to create an aesthetic object or way to share. These planters are a symbol of hope, love affection collective efforts, collaboration, tolerance and love for Mother Nature.
