“My goal is to employ art as a device for shifting values,” she further explained in an interview with Artnet. “As opposed to merely communicating, I am attempting to literally reprogram myself and my audience in terms of our relationship to matter, ourselves, and each other.”

“My dedication to intercepting the waste stream as a part of my practice has made it such that my process includes first, establishing a clean, organized, brightly lit, positively charged workspace,” she added. “I want my work to be an accurate reflection of reality, but waste is messy. I aim for precision in the work. In order to achieve that precision, my studio must be carefully prepared. I listen to news and information on various programs for a portion of the day so that I can stay informed. Then for the remainder of the day, I typically play energetic or meditative, innovative music to aid in processing information and maintaining creative momentum.”

But recently, people are becoming aware and some are even worried about hundreds of thousands of plastic water bottles being thrown away during a public event. According to Bored Panda, London marathon used 920,000 plastic bottles in 2018. The fact that it takes from 450 to 1000 years for one bottle to dissolve, shows that we need to take actions on this matter.

This year, London marathon has made a big change when it comes to giving away water to runners. They have teamed up with Skipping Rocks Lab, a startup company who created edible water pouches called Ooho that are made from seaweed. Ooho has a packaging that dissolves completely and leaves no plastic behind. This product is particularly useful in events like marathon. The water pouches can be easily eaten since it has no taste and can be thrown away as it is entirely biodegradable.

By giving away these edible pouches to the runners during their 23^rd mile, London’s latest marathon has reduced their usage from 920,000 water bottles to 704,0000.
