VENUS
Cigarette butts, plant-based epoxy resin, glass fibre, concrete, metal.
2021
The cigarette butts used were collected from the streets of Tallinn, Estonia during the 2020 World Clean Up Day.
The sculpture represents the beauty and ugliness of humankind. Venus as the symbol of beauty of human creation while cigarette butts contradict it with its ugliness - toxic polluter.
Venus in the cityscape.
It is interesting to see how the perception of the piece changes whether it is in the nature or in the city.
