This project explores environmental destruction through the creation of confrontational and ironic posters. Specifically, these images address issues applicable to coastal Louisiana: oil drilling, water-related problems, and corporate power. I used digital manipulation and text to bring attention to systemic problems that have exacerbated our situation through a tone of false authority. The pieces are meant to mimic childhood inspirational or classroom posters and create a response through problematic language and emotion, especially as childhood is where much of our mentalities take seed and we are most vulnerable. National and global faults in capitalistic approaches to environmental harm continue to become more evident. I hope to point to some of the flaws in the ways these issues have been approached and to incite an examination of the viewer’s internalized mentality. Our national handling of climate change and environmental degradation is deeply entrenched in systems that continue to destroy our only livable planet. These problems demand new thinking and solutions.
