A Legacy in the Making: The Story of my Environmental Art Series
What if the food on your plate, the air you breathe, and even the luxury items you treasure were slowly poisoning you?
I am Unicorn Ink, and my art is more than just visually striking landscapes, it’s a bold statement on the invisible threats
shaping our future. Through my work, I challenge how we perceive consumption, sustainability, and luxury. What we see
as beautiful, luxury, fine art, even the food labeled ‘organic’, often conceals a darker truth. My art makes these hidden
dangers impossible to ignore.
In my environmental art series, I capture untouched landscapes and transform them into unforgettable commentaries
on the mounting pollution crisis. The images are printed on recycled boards and overlaid with plastic waste personally
collected from Bali’s beaches each piece a call to action against the environmental and health threats we face today,
including the insidious presence of microplastics linked to lung cancer.
My creative process further deepens this dialogue. I collect plastic waste from Bali’s beaches, which is processed into
uniform balls by a recycling partner and then crafted into delicate accessories, bottles and hearts, that I integrate into
my collages. This transformation of discarded materials into poignant artistic elements not only reinforces my message
but also exemplifies the power of renewal and reimagined value in our waste.
At the heart of this series stands my flagship piece, “The Last Supper”. Connected to another work from my
environmental series called “We Are All Barbie”, this provocative work offers a daring critique of modern consumption
and environmental deception. In “The Last Supper,” 13 Barbies, all dressed in polyester, gather around a lavish table for a final, ironic feast. Dominating the scene is Jésus Ken, a Latino version of Jesus with a man bun and an Apple Watch with a toxic plastic band, set against the backdrop of an upscale “organic” restaurant. Despite the appearance of luxury, their meal is laden with pesticides, microplastics, and toxic ingredients, laying bare the illusion of purity in contemporary consumption. A striking detail, a pig consuming plastic garbage, echoing U.S. regulations that permit
plastic waste in pig feed-reminds us that, ultimately, “You are what you eat.” My work has graced prestigious platforms from Davos to Cannes and Times Square. With support from partners like Canon, I have established myself as a thought leader at the intersection of art, environmentalism, and high-end collecting. My work bridges fine art, philanthropy, and exclusivity, resonating with collectors, institutions, and
policymakers committed to sustainable change. It aligns seamlessly with global initiatives such as Vision 2030 in the
UAE, where sustainability and cultural preservation are paramount.
This isn’t just art, it’s a message and a movement. It challenges us to confront not only what we consume but also the
narratives we accept without question. By supporting my work, investors and collectors join a global conversation
about sustainability, health, and the future of our planet. Together, we can forge a legacy of cultural influence,
environmental consciousness, and leadership in addressing the crises that threaten our world.
By acquiring my work, collectors become stewards of both fine art and environmental activism, shaping a legacy that
redefines sustainability in the art world. This isn’t just an investment in art, it’s an investment in the future of our
planet.
