Momentary Cloudiness, Hurricanes, Plastic & Water

Momentary Cloudiness, Hurricanes, Plastic & Water by Holly Hanessian

"Momentary Cloudiness, Hurricanes, Plastic & Water” explores the correlation between single-use plastic bottled water and the rise of hurricane activity. Through a multidisciplinary approach that emphasizes the transformative power of social engagement and community action, Holly Hanessian presents a series of projects that focus on water conservation and environmental preparedness for hurricane seasons. "Momentary Cloudiness, Hurricanes, Plastic & Water” is situated at the intersection of socially engaged art, design, craft, and contemporary art, with its main focus on water sustainability linked to hurricane emergencies and the impact of plastic waste on these weather disasters.
