Polluted Water Popsicles

8/10/2017

0 Comments

 
Focused on environmental change rather than flavor, art students Hung I-chen, Guo Yi-hui, and Cheng Yu-ti from the National Taiwan University of the Arts concocted a line of “frozen treats” titled Polluted Water Popsicles. The group collected polluted water from 100 locations in Taiwan, first freezing the collected sewage samples and then preserving their creations in polyester resin.

At first glance the visually pleasing treats seem to imitate the aesthetic of recent craft and artisanal food trends. However on closed inspection you can identify the trash contained within each mold—bits of plastic, bottle caps, and wrappers lying within the popsicles’ murky waters.

The project is intended to spread awareness about water pollution and its deep effect on our world’s population.

Los estudiantes de arte Hung I-chen, Guo Yi-hui y Cheng Yu-ti, de la Universidad Nacional de las Artes de Taiwan, elaboraron una línea de "dulces congelados" titulada "Polluted Water Popsicles". El grupo colectó agua contaminada de 100 localidades de Taiwán, congelando primero las muestras de aguas residuales recogidas y luego preservando sus creaciones en resina.

A primera vista, las delicias visualmente agradables parecen imitar la estética de las artesanías recientes y las tendencias de los alimentos artesanales. Sin embargo, se puede identificar la basura contenida dentro de cada molde de plástico, tapas de botellas y envolturas que se encuentran dentro de las aguas turbias de los paletas.

El proyecto tiene como objetivo difundir la conciencia sobre la contaminación del agua y su profundo efecto sobre la población mundial.
