Project “Ghosts” 2024–2025 Chinese River Dolphin (Baiji) – 2017Dimensions: Stand 60 cm (height), Figure 25 cm x 20 cm (figure). Materials: Plastic, fluorescent acrylic paint, polyethylene, crushed glass (or glass frit), epoxy resin.In the last few decades, the issues of environmental pollution and climate change have received wide publicity, and the anxiety concerning biological extinction is not fabricated (or: is not far-fetched). However, people have long become accustomed to such news. Therefore, in my project, I will not delve into the details of this problem.My goal is to showcase the extinct animal species that we have lost in recent times. These are “ghosts” made of plastic and polyethylene, although not long ago, they were strong, wild, and free animals.Each work is accompanied by a caption indicating the animal species and the official year of its extinction.
