A natural environment is a specific organism. It forms the complicated web of interrelations and immanently united coexistences with people who inhabited there. Unfortunately, the sequence of worrying statistics and the notifications of scientists connected with the deteriorating constitution of our planet, isn't arousing the anxiety of the considerable part of society. Precisely just starting from closest to for us surrounding: homesteads, backyards, places of employment or the nearby green belt has begun forming attitudes according with the model of non-antagonistic interactions between the environment and its population.


A spreading practice of littering forests and other value natural areas is one of the most vexing problems of this type. This action, have been hitting not only into natural space but also into us, destroying the aesthetic originally expression of attractive places.

Using special paints I am creating installations (visible during day and night), which consist on rubbish materials thrown by the people in particular places (→ illegal dumping sites). Through these interferences, I want turn attention into the toxicity of these places, as well as emphasise our influence into not only ecosystem, but also into the space of our life.


The first part of the project consists of interferences created using luminescent paint, which is visible for pedestrians at night. Considering my observations I have decided to create the parallel cycle of intervention for which I used reflecting paint, visible during the day as well as at night, but due to its character is supposed to turn attention mainly of motorized persons.
