Figurative Bust Sculptures 

Title: Greed

For my project, I had really wanted to display the idea of the greed of rich people in regards to enviornmental issues in comparison to enviornmental activists. More specifically, I had heard recents news articles saying that A list celebrities are using their private planes to travel short distances. This most commonly occurs in LA because of traffic. However, I believe that it is incredibly selfish of them to be doing this when the future of the enviornment is at stake. My figurative bust sculptures display this idea because one displays a rich lady on a plane and the other one displays an envionmental activist that is crying and protesting.
