Got Milk? Got Nature?

Remix Ad

My Remix is based on the popular “Got Milk” campaign. I decided that I could effectively remix the advertisement for a cause that I have strong convictions about. The idea is “Got Nature” we are losing untouched natural resources and environments at an alarming rate. Everyone says they are trying to live “green”, but I don’t believe we are making enough sacrifices. Rather than dwelling on the negative I decide to put spin on the advertisement asking people to go out and enjoy the natural world. I believe that if people venture out and take a fifteen-minute walk in a natural environment and just observe the natural beauty they might be more inclined to protect that environment. This image has two photos one I took in my apartment and one I took of the sunrise over Yellowstone Lake in Yellowstone National Park. Yellowstone was the first designated National Park in the history of the United States and a place of exquisite natural beauty. Got Nature?

JR's beautiful photography

This image is incredibly powerful to me in that the artist "JR" put the eyes and faces of women on the side of the favella (a community or city in Rio de Janiero) creating a powerful image and a powerful statement. In the artist's words "To pay tribute to those who play an essential role in society, but who are the victims of war, crime, rape, or political and religious fanaticism... women."  These women's eyes have been integrated right onto the side of the building structures- homes. Allowing their gaze to permeate the community and to acknowledge that they are a strong part of the community that has been abused in various manner and can no longer be overlooked. My exposure to the images was through the magazine Juxtapoz (February 2009  n 97)- which I love and can't wait for the next issue. For more information JR-art.net.
